The galley is the final form of the article – editing, copy edited, and laid out – that is posted to the OJS site for reading. Galleys are usually uploaded as PDFs.
Adding a galley
Galleys are not brought forward from the submission’s Workflow tab. They must be manually added to the Galleys facet of the Publication tab.

- Open the submission and navigate to the Publication tab, then to the Galleys facet.
- Click Add Galley. This opens the Create New Galley window.
- Add the Galley label. This is typically the file format.
- Select the Language
- Click Save.
- Select the Article Component. This is usually “Article Text.”
- Drag and drop the galley file from your desktop to upload area OR click Upload File and select the galley file from your file directory.
- Click Continue.
- Rename the file if you wish, the click Continue.
- Click Complete.
Replacing a galley

- Open the submission and navigate to the Publication tab, then to the Galleys facet.
- Click the blue arrow next to the galley label and click Change File.
- In the first drop-down, select the file you wish to replace.
