The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, usually referred to as PNAS, is the official journal of the United States National Academy of Sciences (NAS). PNAS is a scientific journal that printed its first issue in 1915 and continues to publish highly cited research reports, commentaries, reviews, perspectives, feature articles, profiles, letters to the editor, and actions of the Academy. Coverage in PNAS broadly spans the biological, physical, and social sciences. Although many of the papers published in the journal are in the biomedical sciences, PNAS recruits papers and publishes special features in the physical and social sciences and in mathematics. PNAS is published weekly in print, and daily online in PNAS Early Edition.

 

History

PNAS was established by the National Academies of Science (NAS) in 1914, with its first issue published in 1915. The NAS itself had been founded in 1863 as a private institution, but chartered by the U.S. Congress, with the goal to "investigate, examine, experiment, and report upon any subject of science or art". By 1914 the Academy had been well established.

 

Prior to the start of the journal, NAS published three volumes of organizational transactions, consisting mostly of minutes of meetings and annual reports. In accordance with the guiding principles established by astronomer George Ellery Hale, the foreign secretary of NAS in 1914, PNAS publishes brief first announcements of Academy members' and foreign associates' more important contributions to research and of work that appears to a member to be of particular importance.

 

About PNAS

 

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

 

PNAS is one of the world's most-cited and comprehensive multidisciplinary scientific journals, publishing more than 3,800 research papers annually. Established in 1914, PNAS publishes cutting-edge research, science news, Commentaries, Reviews, Perspectives, Colloquium Papers, and actions of the National Academy of Sciences.

 

The journal's content spans the biological, physical, and social sciences and is global in scope. Nearly half of all accepted papers come from authors outside the United States.

 

PNAS publishes only the highest quality scientific research. Every published paper is peer reviewed and has been approved for publication by an NAS member. Submissions are accepted from all researchers; authors do not need to have a connection to an NAS member to publish in PNAS.

 

PNAS is published weekly in print, and daily online in PNAS Early Edition. The PNAS First Look blog, new content portals, and new 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.

 

The PNAS impact factor is 9.809 and the Eigenfactor is 1.50118 for 2013. PNAS is available by subscription.

 

PNAS is abstracted and/or indexed in, for example: CABI, Chemical Abstracts Service, CSA, EBSCOhost, Elsevier Scopus, Gale, H. W. Wilson, Index Medicus, Journal Watch, JSTOR, OCLC, Ovid, ProQuest, Psychological Abstracts, PubMed, and Thomson Reuters BIOSIS and Current Contents.

 

PNAS Online

PNAS Online launched in January 1997 and now receives over 21 million hits per month. The site contains PDFs of all articles in PNAS dating back to 1915, and the full text, figures, tables, equations, and references dating back to November 1996.

 

PNAS articles are also published online before print in PNAS Early Edition as soon as they are accepted and final author changes are made. First decisions are typically made within 21 days. Release of articles became daily in June 2002. The date of online release is posted on the website and is the official date of publication. Papers are published online 1–4 weeks before they appear in print and PNAS can offer publication in as little as 4–5 weeks after acceptance to authors who return their proofs quickly.
