  The inclusion of QCD corrections to the Born amplitude of deeply virtual
Compton scattering in both spacelike (DVCS) and timelike (TCS) regimes modifies
the extraction process of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) from
observables. In particular, gluon contributions are by no means negligible even
in the medium energy range accessible at JLab12. We emphasize the
complementarity of spacelike and timelike measurements and raise the question
of factorization scale dependence of the O(alpha_S) results.
