Already written for another journal? Bring the paper into Manulyx and convert it to PNAS’s template in one step: the text, figures, tables and references move across, and the converted paper is compiled before it is saved.
Compiles as it stands. A project made from this starts from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)’s own package — the manuscript, pnas-new.cls and the bibliography style that come with it — so what compiles here is what the package gives you.
The same package serves 2 other titles. Check the journal’s own author pages for its current instructions.
Where this differs from the download.
- Added: pnas-sample.bib (written by Manulyx with the five keys the sample cites; PNAS does not publish the sample .bib on pnas.org), jabbrv.sty, jabbrv-ltwa-all.ldf, jabbrv-ltwa-en.ldf (Erich E. Hoover, LPPL 1.3c, from github.com/compholio/jabbrv: pnas-new.cls loads jabbrv, which is not in TeX Live and not on pnas.org), PNAS_Logo.pdf (a blank 66.4 x 24.5 pt page: pnas-new.cls prints PNAS_Logo.pdf in the title area and PNAS does not publish it on pnas.org, so the space is left empty rather than drawn).
- Changed: PNAS-template-main.tex: sentences naming another online editor removed (the title's and the guide heading's 'using ...', its help paragraph, its submit-button and SI-template sentences), per the rule for samples that name another online editor; the frog figure, which PNAS does not publish on pnas.org, replaced by TeX Live's example-image (mwe) and its captions read 'Placeholder image with ...'. Class, styles and .bst unchanged (amendpnas.mjs, 2026-11-08).
