Use after PNAS reviews arrive to triage the decision, prioritize experiments, and draft a point-by-point response that is respectful, evidence-led, and honest about limits. Do not run before the main text is actually revised.
Use to write the mandatory PNAS Significance Statement — ≤120 words, written so an educated reader outside the field (down to an undergraduate) understands why the work matters. Distinct from the abstract. The highest-value PNAS-specific artifact.
Use to structure a PNAS main text and hold its length — Title, Significance Statement, Abstract, Introduction, Results, Discussion, in-text Materials and Methods, references — and to choose the required Classification (Biological/Physical/Social Sciences + minor subject) and keywords at submission.
Use to write the PNAS Nexus abstract — a single self-contained paragraph of up to 250 words, with no headings, quantified and accessible to a broad scientific audience. Distinguishes the abstract (what/how/found, for scientists) from the 50–120-word Significance Statement (why-it-matters, for everyone). Late-stage polish.
Use to build PNAS Nexus's Data and Code Availability — mandatory public-repository deposition of all materials, data, code, and protocols upon publication, retention of raw unprocessed images, accession numbers/DOIs, the [dataset] citation tag, and a compliant availability statement. "Available on request" alone is not sufficient, and failure can be grounds for rejection or retraction.
Use after PNAS Nexus reviews arrive to triage the decision, prioritize experiments, and draft a point-by-point response that is respectful, evidence-led, and honest about limits. Covers the case where reviews were carried over from a PNAS transfer. Do not run before the main text is actually revised.
Use to write the PNAS Nexus Significance Statement — between 50 and 120 words, in plain language for a broad scientific audience, explaining why the work matters. Required for Research Reports and Stage 2 Registered Reports. Distinct from the abstract. One of the highest-value PNAS Nexus front-matter artifacts.
Use to choose the PNAS Nexus article type, structure the main text, and hold the page-based length budget — Research Report / Brief Report / Perspective / Review / Registered Report — keep Materials and Methods in the main text, and select the required research-area classification at submission.
Use when writing an ACM PODC rebuttal/author response, if the cycle runs one — covering how to correct a proof misreading, supply a missing lemma or bound within the anonymity envelope, prioritize soundness questions over taste, and behave correctly given that PODC has no revision round to fall back on.
Use when drafting or revising the body of an ACM PODC paper — building the distributed-theory skeleton (an explicit model box, the result stated as a theorem up front, a proof architecture the reader can navigate, and the 10-page-merits discipline) so the merits case lands within the first 10 pages a PODC committee is guaranteed to read.
