Call for Papers
Founded in 1914, PNAS publishes some of the world's highest-quality and most significant research in the biological, physical, and social sciences. PNAS often issues Calls for Papers on topics in these domains and seeks to increase representation from both underrepresented authors and underrepresented areas in science.
Every paper at PNAS is handled by a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a nonprofit organization comprising nearly 2,400 active members and 500 international members, of whom more than 200 are Nobel laureates.
Papers accepted under the Call for Papers announcement publish when ready (rather than publishing together into a collection like those found in PNAS Special Features).
