PNAS depends, in part, on the payment of article processing charges (APCs) to finance its operations. Papers are accepted or rejected for publication and published solely on the basis of merit. For articles that publish beginning with volume 119, PNAS is introducing a simplified APC and license structure that removes dependency on article length.
Regular research articles:
| APC | Available Licenses | |
|---|---|---|
| Delayed Open Access | $2,575 | CC BY-NC-ND |
| Immediate Open Access | $4,975 for corresponding authors from institutions with current-year site licenses (compared to our $5,475 regular fee) | CC BY-NC-ND or CC BY |
Brief Report articles: $2,275 per article with either a CC BY or CC BY-NC-ND license. All Brief Report articles are immediately open access upon publication.
All PNAS articles, regardless of their license, are free within 6 months of publication.
