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.
