In the text, references to the literature should be made by author's name followed by year of publication arranged by alphabetical order first, then by year of publication:
...studies by Briggs (1975) reveal...
...studies by Briggs and Porter (1975) reveal...
...an earlier report (Briggs, 1975)...
...earlier reports (Anderson and Stevens, 1977; Mahler, 1976;1977),...
When references are made to more than one paper by the same author, published in the same year, they are to be designated in the text as (Gardner-Medwin, 1983a,b) and in the reference list as shown below. References are to be arranged alphabetically in the following style: Author's name (or names), year of publication, complete title, volume, and inclusive pages as follows:
Journal Article
Antanitus DS, Choi BH, Lapham LW. 1976. The demonstration of glial fibrillary acidic protein in the cerebrum of the human fetus by indirect immunofluorescence. Brain Res 103:613-616.

"Unpublished observations" and "personal communications" should not appear in the references. These should be inserted in parentheses in the text, and letters of permission from all individuals cited in this way should accompany the manuscript.
Footnotes. Number footnotes to the text with consecutive arabic numerals. The corresponding reference numbers must be clearly indicated in the text. Additional references to the identical footnote must be numbered with the next consecutive number, for example.
1 Material used for this experiment was...
2 Provided by...
3 See footnote 2, page...
Type footnotes to a table directly beneath the table and number them 1, 2, 3, etc. They must not be numbered in sequence with text footnotes.
Tables. All tables must be cited in the text and have titles. Number them consecutively with arabic numerals. Table titles should be complete but brief. Information other than that defining the data should be presented as footnotes. Since tabular material is expensive to reproduce, it should be simple and uncomplicated, with as few vertical and horizontal rules as possible.
Illustrations
Illustrations should be numbered in one consecutive series using arabic numerals, and keyed into the text. Authors must submit figures at the size they are to appear in GLIA. Illustrations need to be 1-column width (8.8 cm) or the smallest size that will convey the essential scientific information. For multiple panel figures, 1.5 columns (13 cm) or 2 columns (18 cm) will be allowed if necessary. Vertical dimensions can vary, but must not exceed 20 cm. Figures should be appropriately lettered and labeled with characters that will be 2-6 mm (8-12 points) high in the final reproduction, using a Serif font, preferably "Times Roman". In cases of line drawings that could be reduced, except that some lettering would be illegibly small, the figures may be returned to the authors for re-labeling, thus delaying publication of the manuscript.
Color Figures. Authors are encouraged to submit color illustrations when the color conveys essential scientific information. All color figures will be reproduced in full color in the online edition of the journal at no cost to authors. Authors are requested to pay the cost of reproducing color figures in print (upon acceptance of the manuscript, the publisher will provide price quotes). The publisher will subsidize color reproduction, reducing author costs to $550 for the first page, and $450 for each of the next three pages.
Cover Illustrations. Authors may submit color figures for consideration as cover illustrations. These Figures must be used in the submitted manuscript.
ALL MANUSCRIPTS submitted to GLIA must be submitted solely to this journal, may not have been published in any part or form (except as an abstract for a meeting) in another publication of any type, professional or lay, and become the property of the publisher. The publisher reserves copyright, and no published material may be reproduced or published elsewhere without the written permission of the publisher and the author. The journal will not be responsible for the loss of manuscripts at any time. All statements in, or omissions from, published manuscripts are the responsibility of the authors, who will assist the editors by reviewing proofs before publication. Reprint order forms will be sent with page proofs. No page charges will be levied against authors or their institutions for publication in the journal. There are paid services available to help authors for whom English is a second language. Please contact the editors for further information. Authors in Japan please note: Wiley-Japan can provide authors in Japan with a list of recommended services to check and improve the English of their papers BEFORE SUBMISSION. Please contact Yoko Kobayashi in the Wiley-Japan office by Fax 81 3-5689-7276 or e-mail editorial@wiley.co.jp for more information, stating which Wiley journal you are submitting.

Author Submission Guidelines for Supplementary Material.
Supplementary material may include (but is not limited to) video clips, large sections of tabular data, program code, or electronic graphical files that are otherwise not suitable for print media.
Peer review. Supplementary material must be submitted at the time of peer review. Please denote the supplementary material when submitting via our online system.
Acceptance and electronic submission. Once material has been accepted by the editors, it must be submitted in the following electronic formats: .DOC, .RTF, .TIF, .EPS, or files that can be opened using Quicktime or MS Windows movie formats.
All files submitted must be accompanied by a text file named README. The README file should include the following information:
Title of Paper
Authors and their affiliations
Filename, file size, file type
Brief description of material
Guidelines for Electronic Submission
Following are instructions for submitting manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations).
Text and tables will only be accepted in .DOC and .RTF, format extensions.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared using any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript using one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your work processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists. * Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word’s “Save As?option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
File names. Submit the text, tables and figures as separate files - not all embedded in one file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.
Illustrations
Authors are encouraged to visit http://cpc.cadmus.com/da/ for supported artwork formats.
All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CMYK color space. If possible, ICC or ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.
Software and format. All illustrations files must be in .TIF or .EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.
Digital Figures. To ensure that your digital graphics are suitable for print purposes, please go to RapidInspector?at http://rapidinspector.cadmus.com/wi/index.jsp This free, stand-alone software application will help you to inspect and verify illustrations right on your computer.
Resolution. Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.
File names. Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .TIF or .EPS ).
