Flexible Article Length

A standard regular research report submitted to PNAS is 6 pages, or approximately 4,000 words, 50 references, and 4 medium-size graphical elements (i.e., figures and tables). The preferred length of articles remains at 6 pages, but PNAS allows articles up to a maximum of 12 pages as of July 1. See the PNAS Author Center for additional details on manuscript length and publication fees.

PNAS staff members are currently working remotely to help slow the spread of COVID-19. All PNAS operations will continue, and we apologize in advance for any delays you might experience.

PNAS recognizes that some reviewers might need additional time to assess manuscripts, and we are happy to accommodate them. We are also extending the resubmission deadline for invited revisions, as needed. At the same time, in the interest of public health we are asking editors and reviewers of COVID-19–related papers to prioritize their review. We thank everyone for their patience and cooperation during this time.

Please contact us with any questions or concerns at pnas@nas.edu. We are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM ET and will continue to monitor email as usual.
