Why Submit to PNAS?

Comprehensive scientific coverage

PNAS publishes exceptional research across all areas of the biological, physical, and social sciences. Innovation often happens at the margins of disciplines, and we are especially interested in research that crosses disciplinary bounds, answers questions with broad scientific impact, or breaks new ground.

Broad scientific audience

With one of the largest scientific audiences in the world, PNAS articles reach millions of top researchers each year. Our equitable access and open research programs further our mission to make scientific research accessible to all.

Rapid, high-quality peer review

PNAS is edited by members of the NAS, a private, nonprofit society of distinguished scholars. Scientists are elected by their peers to membership in the NAS for outstanding contributions to research. Nearly 200 members of the NAS have won Nobel Prizes. The NAS is committed to furthering science in America and beyond, and its members are active contributors to the international scientific community.

On average, a full review takes just 47 days, and most articles publish within six months of submission.
