# Article Type, Structure & Length (pnasnexus-writing)

## When to trigger

- You have not chosen an **article type**, or the type doesn't match the content's length/ambition.
- The manuscript structure is unclear or the Methods are being pushed out of the main text.
- The paper is over the **page budget**.
- You have not chosen a **classification** (research area + subcategory).
- The Results read like a lab notebook instead of an argument.

## Step 1: choose the article type (this sets the budget)

| Article type | Length (confirm current guidelines) | Use it for |
|--------------|--------------------------------------|------------|
