‍Berlin (Germany) and Washington, D.C. (USA), 1 October 2026 – ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), one of the world’s most-cited and comprehensive multidisciplinary scientific journals, today announced a new Journal Home partnership designed to increase the visibility, readership, and global reach of PNAS research.

PNAS is the flagship peer-reviewed journal of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and publishes high-impact, original research across the biological, physical, and social sciences. Through Journal Home, PNAS content will be delivered to ResearchGate’s global community of more than 25 million researchers, creating new opportunities for researchers to discover, access, and engage with leading multidisciplinary research. PNAS joins PNAS Nexus, which is already available on ResearchGate through its partnership with Oxford University Press. Together, the two journals represent the NAS research journal portfolio on ResearchGate.

Through the partnership, PNAS will benefit from:

• Expanded connections with potential authors: Journal Home connects PNAS with relevant researchers across disciplines and around the world, creating opportunities to reach new author communities and engage researchers throughout the publishing cycle.
• Increased article readership and engagement: Making full-text PNAS research available through ResearchGate will make it easier for researchers to discover and engage with more than 3,500 research papers published annually.
• An enhanced author experience: Automatic uploads of published articles to author profiles and greater visibility into how research is being read, shared, and cited will help authors showcase their work and better understand its reach.
• Greater journal visibility and international reach: Dedicated Journal Profiles, prominent journal branding, and seamless content sharing across ResearchGate will increase awareness of PNAS and help connect its research with relevant audiences worldwide.

“Journal Home provides PNAS with a valuable opportunity to expand the international reach and readership of the high-quality, multidisciplinary research we publish,” said Diane M. Sullenberger, PNAS Publisher. “By making PNAS research easier to discover and engage with, this partnership can help our authors connect their work with researchers who can build on it and advance scientific understanding.”

“Journal Home brings one of the world’s most-cited and comprehensive multidisciplinary scientific journals directly to ResearchGate’s global community,” said Robyn Mugridge, Head of Partnership Development at ResearchGate. “This creates significant new opportunities for researchers to discover, access, and engage with PNAS research, increasing its visibility and usage while helping reach more potential authors worldwide.”
