Preparing a submission for GSA Today
GSA Today sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 11 requirements for GSA Today and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select GSA Today, and let it rewrite your text to match: the exact word limits, reference style and structure, so your paper is submission-ready.
If the paper was rejected elsewhere, most of the work in retargeting GSA Today is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow GSA Today's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.
Manuscript types at GSA Today
GSA Today documents its author requirements per manuscript type: Comment and Reply, Groundwork, Rock Stars, Science Article, Short Commentary. The rules differ between them, so Scraiber applies the set that matches the type you are submitting.
