About PNAS
PNAS is one of the world's most-cited and comprehensive multidisciplinary scientific journals, publishing more than 3,500 research papers annually.
The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the official journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), is an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans the biological, physical, and social sciences. The journal is global in scope and submission is open to all researchers worldwide.
PNAS was established in 1914 in honor of the semicentennial anniversary of the National Academy of Sciences. Since then, we have worked to publish only the highest quality scientific research and to make that research accessible to a broad audience. In addition, PNAS publishes science news, Commentaries, Perspectives, Colloquium Papers, podcasts, and profiles of NAS members.
In 1995, PNAS began accepting Direct Submissions from researchers without an NAS affiliation. While we retain strong ties with the NAS, whose members oversee the journal’s rigorous three-tier peer review process, we now receive more than 17,000 Direct Submissions each year. Direct Submissions account for more than 75% of the research we publish.
PNAS is available by subscription, and all content is free after 6 months. Authors who choose the open access option can have their articles made available without cost to the reader immediately upon publication. More than 120 countries have free access to PNAS through our Equitable Access Initiatives.
Useful Features
Content portals and journal features provide fresh perspectives on science at a general level—features on trending topics, opinions, explanations of core scientific concepts, and exploration of science and culture—to advance understanding of all aspects of science.
Daily Publication
PNAS articles are published online directly into an open issue on a daily basis. First decisions are typically made within 21 days. The date of online release is the official date of publication. PNAS articles appear in an issue on publication. PNAS can offer publication in as little as 4–5 weeks after acceptance to authors who return their proofs quickly.
Relevant Science
The PNAS website launched in January 1997 and now receives over 15 million page views per month. The site contains PDFs of PNAS articles dating back to 1915, and the full text, figures, tables, equations, and references dating back to November 1996. PNAS makes all content free within 6 months of publication and immediately free in 124 lower-income countries. Authors who choose the PNAS open access option pay a surcharge to make their papers immediately free.
Wide Influence
PNAS is abstracted and/or indexed in many discovery services.
