Motivation:
Besides the extraordinarily long review time, I strongly suspect that they could not find reviewers. An inquiry was made months after submission, and they replied that they had invited 50 total reviewers to that point. The generic statement in the decision letter was
"Unfortunately, we have determined that the manuscript is not acceptable for publication. We enclose detailed comments below.
AIP Advances covers applied physical science and requires manuscripts to contain original results and to be technically correct. Based on its scope, your manuscript may be more appropriate for another journal."
All this after suggestions from the editors of Applied Physics Letters and the Journal of Applied Physics to submit to them.
