GJVAS accepts original research articles, review articles, methods papers, case reports, short communications, editorials, and letters relevant to veterinary and animal sciences.
Submission files
Full Manuscript (with Author Details): one complete Word (.doc or .docx) or PDF (.pdf) file for editorial use. Include the title page, all authors and affiliations, corresponding-author details, ORCID iDs, acknowledgements, funding, author contributions, conflicts of interest, ethics and consent statements, data availability, complete article text, references, figures, tables, legends, and other applicable declarations.
Blinded Manuscript (for Peer Review): one complete Word (.doc or .docx) or PDF (.pdf) file containing the reviewer-facing article, references, figures, tables, and legends, with all author-identifying information and document properties removed.
Current file policy for OJS submissions
Authors upload exactly two required manuscript files: one full version and one blinded version. Each may be submitted in Microsoft Word or PDF format. Separate title-page, consent, highlights, declarations, cover-letter, figure, or supporting-document uploads are not required at initial submission; include applicable material in the full manuscript.

Detailed front matter
Research article: article type, full title, running title, full author list, affiliations, corresponding author, ORCID iDs, structured abstract, four to eight keywords, optional highlights, graphical abstract where available, and full declaration statements.
Review article: article type, title, running title, author details, abstract describing scope and synthesis approach, keywords, protocol or registration information where relevant, visual summary where available, and full declarations.
Case report: article type, title naming the species or condition, author details, short abstract, three to six keywords, owner consent or ethics statement where required, learning points, and declaration statements.
Publisher layout template
Use the public GJVAS article layout model when preparing title-page and declaration content for production: GJVAS article template.
Abstracts and visual summaries
Research and review articles should provide a clear abstract summarizing the objective, methods, principal findings, and conclusion. A graphical abstract is strongly encouraged when a single visual can communicate the study design, mechanism, workflow, or key finding effectively. A short optional video abstract may be submitted for techniques, field procedures, imaging, or clinically relevant demonstrations.
Proofs after acceptance
Accepted manuscripts enter copyediting and production in OJS. The production office prepares the proof PDF and any HTML galley, then shares the proof with the corresponding author through the OJS production record. Authors should return one consolidated set of proof corrections within 72 hours. Proof corrections should be limited to typographic, metadata, figure-label, table-label, reference, and factual-display issues; major rewrites, new data, or authorship changes require editor approval.
References metadata for Crossref
Authors should enter the full reference list into the references metadata field in OJS during submission or revision. This supports accurate Crossref metadata deposit and reference linking after publication. Include DOI information in references where available.
Submission Preparation Checklist
Please confirm that the two required manuscript files are complete before continuing. Each file may be submitted as a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx) or PDF (.pdf).

A Blinded Manuscript (for Peer Review) has been uploaded. It contains the complete reviewer-facing article, including references, figures, tables, and legends, but no author names, affiliations, identifying acknowledgements or funding details, tracked personal data, comments, or identifying document properties.
The information entered in OJS matches the full manuscript, all listed authors approved the submission, and any required ethics or consent approvals have been obtained.
