Submission

Submit your manuscript

GJVAS uses an online submission system for double-blind manuscript submission, editorial screening, peer review, revision, and production tracking.

Formal submission starts in OJS: manuscript files, author metadata, references metadata, and editorial correspondence for GJVAS are handled in the OJS portal. All submission metadata and manuscript files must be provided in English.
