Skills (12)

• pnas-abstract

  Use to write the PNAS abstract — a single self-contained paragraph of ~250 words, quantified and accessible to a broad scientific audience. Distinguishes the abstract (what/how/found, for scientists) from the Significance Statement (why-it-matters, for everyone). Late-stage polish.

• pnas-citation

  Use to convert references to PNAS's numbered citation style — cited in order of appearance, a numbered reference list, full author lists, abbreviated journal titles. Provides formats for article/book/chapter/dataset/preprint and an author-date → PNAS conversion table. Late-stage style pass.

• pnas-data

  Use to build PNAS's Data Availability Statement and deposition plan — mandatory deposition of data in an approved repository at submission, accession numbers/DOIs, public + archived code, and materials sharing. "Available on request" is not sufficient for primary data.

• pnas-figures

  Use to finalize PNAS display items — column-width sizing (~9 / 11.4 / 18 cm), minimum font sizes, show-the-data with n and defined error bars, scale bars, colorblind-safe palettes, legend structure, image integrity, and color-mode notes. Enforces figure rigor before submission.

• pnas-fit

  Use before any writing begins to stress-test whether a result clears PNAS's bar — high quality and broad significance to a general scientific readership — and to make the realistic call between PNAS, Science/Nature, and a specialist field journal.

• pnas-rebuttal

  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.

• pnas-significance

  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.

• pnas-statistics

  Use to enforce PNAS's statistics and reproducibility reporting — n and replication, test choice and assumptions, effect sizes with uncertainty, multiple-comparison control, randomization/blinding, sample-size justification, pre-registration where relevant, and reproducible code.

• pnas-submission

  Use as the final preflight before submitting to PNAS — a complete checklist across significance, track, Significance Statement, abstract, classification + keywords, figures, statistics, data, references, and required files. Bundles a checklist and a PNAS cover-letter template. Emits GO/NO-GO.

• pnas-track

  Use to choose the PNAS submission track — Direct Submission (standard, editor-assigned, peer reviewed) vs Contributed Submission (an NAS member communicates their own paper). Covers eligibility, the editor/member role, the discontinued and legacy tracks, and how to pick. Unique to PNAS.

• pnas-workflow

  Use when deciding which pnas-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a manuscript from significance test through reviewer rebuttal for PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

• pnas-writing

  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.
