title: Generalized parton distributions in the valence region from deeply virtual Compton scattering.
abstract: This work reviews the recent developments in the field of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and deeply virtual Compton scattering in the valence region, which aim at extracting the quark structure of the nucleon. We discuss the constraints which the present generation of measurements provide on GPDs, and examine several state-of-the-art parametrizations of GPDs. Future directions in this active field are discussed.
