pnasnexus-fit

separate

Use before any writing — as the first gate — to stress-test whether a result fits PNAS Nexus — high-quality, broadly significant, multidisciplinary research across biological/health/medical, physical sciences & engineering, and social & political sciences — and to make the realistic call between PNAS Nexus, flagship PNAS, and a field journal, including the PNAS-to-PNAS-Nexus transfer route.

When to use

• Deciding if PNAS Nexus is the right venue before drafting
• Judging whether to accept a PNAS Nexus transfer after a PNAS decline
• Choosing between flagship PNAS, PNAS Nexus, and a field journal
• Evaluating multi/interdisciplinary work that does not fit a single field journal
• Assessing cross-disciplinary significance for a general scientific audience

When not to use

• Writing or drafting the manuscript prose
• Fixing unsound science or technical merit issues
• Contributing papers as an NAS member to PNAS Nexus
