Key Aspects:

1. Purpose
   Facilitates rapid dissemination of research, enabling timely scholarly discussion and feedback.

   Only peer-reviewed, accepted articles that have completed final editorial checks are eligible.

   Ahead of Print articles are published online, clearly labeled as "Ahead of Print" until included in an issue.

4. DOI Assignment
   Each article receives a permanent DOI for citation and retrieval. The DOI remains unchanged after assignment to an issue.

5. Final Version
   Minor revisions or formatting updates may occur before final issue publication. Authors must ensure consistency between versions.

6. Visibility and Impact
   Early access increases visibility, readership, and potential citations of research findings.

7. Updating Status
   Once assigned to an issue, the Ahead of Print label is replaced with volume and issue details.

8. Open Access
   All Ahead of Print articles are freely accessible, in accordance with our open access policy.

Through this service,  Global Journal of Advanced Science and Technology promotes rapid, open dissemination of scientific knowledge worldwide.
