PNAS Figure Formatter
Standardizes scientific figures and display items to meet strict PNAS column width, typography, accessibility, and data presentation guidelines.
The PNAS Figure Formatter skill ensures all scientific display items comply with rigorous Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) publication standards before submission. It guides researchers on exact multi-column dimensions (9 cm, 11.4 cm, and 18 cm widths), minimum font sizing (6–8 pt sans-serif), data transparency requirements (replacing isolated bar charts with individual data points and defined error bars), colorblind-safe color palettes, and strict image integrity policies. This skill helps authors avoid common revision delays by auditing figure layouts, legends, and resolution requirements.
