After January 1st in year 2005, we began to admit PDF files which includes Front cover, reference material for paper review and body of paper itself, via E-mail. Submit your paper according to the following guideline. Especially, highlighted matters must be satisefied. The address to submit: Contents of attached PDF file:
*1 In the front cover, there are two boxes that need seals (for Japanese papers) or signetures (for English papers) of a representative auther. To put those stuffs on your PDF files, please take one of the following process.
Prepair original article and PDF generation setting in order to maintain the size of final PDF file size less than 1 Mega Byte. If file size is inevitably over 1MB by such reasons that quality of figures cannot be maintained and will cause difficulty on paper reviewing, ask the contact e-mail address above. Even if you took this PDF file submission process, final paper including a sealed front cover should be submitted by a hardcopy via postal service or parcel delivery service, addressed to the nominated address in the above section How to submit a paper. At that time, prepair postcards that printed the Word file template for receipt acknowledge and publication issue number notification. From June 2006, express publication service has been initiated. If note of the express service was not attached on request letter for final paper submission, please download the note from the link and use it. (4) How to generate PDF file
Though the most reliable way to generate PDF files is using "Acrobat" produced by Adobe corporation, other several method can be taken. For example, many freewares to convert Word format to PDF format or to combine multiple files in together can be found on the website of Vector corporation; http://www.vector.co.jp/ Other commercial softwares produced by several companies such as Sourcenext, Mediadrive, Livedoor or Justsystem are also available. (5) Notice about print processing of colored (Non-Black and White) PDF file
If submitted PDF file includes color figures or photographs, it will be assumed that author specified color print for those stuffs. Printing fee will thus be expensive than in case of Black and White printing. See Publication fee section for detail. Replacing those figures to Black and White in the middle of reviewing process will take some moment and may delays the publication. Please be careful about that. It is also important to show page number properly among a body of a paper, after generation and combining of PDF file. (6) Express publication service
For authors who hope quick publication of their papers, express publication service has been initiated. Authors who want to use this service can submit to this service by using Note of the express service enclosed together with request letter for final paper submission (if it was not enclosed, please download from the link.

Papers without express service has been published within about five months through ordinary process (according to the assessment at the end of May, 2006). Detailed information is explained on the note. By using express publication service, papers that submitted by the 10th day of each month can be published 2 months later (if camera-ready master was prepaired by authors themselves) or 3 months later (if camera-ready master was made by print shop). If submission of a paper is late to the 10th day, publication will be processed as it was submitted in the next month. Extra charge for this express service is almost same to the ordinary publication fee. Namely, the total charge is about a doubled amount of the ordinary fee. Number of submissions based on this service is limited up to two articles per each issue. If more papers were submitted at a same time, this service may not be available.
