Guidelines of ITC13 Manuscript Preparation
for Contributed and Invited Papers
1. Introduction
All papers presented at ITC13 will be considered, via peer review, for inclusion
in a special issue of the Journal of Plasma and Fusion Research published by the
Japan Society of Plasma Science and Nuclear Fusion Research. Details of this
journal and society can be found at http://jspf.nifs.ac.jp/index-e.html. To make
a timely publication of these proceedings, the Editorial Office has come up with
the following guidelines for manuscript preparation. Authorsf cooperation will
be greatly appreciated. Contributed papers which are not presented at the poster
session will be automatically excluded from the publication in the Journal. The
presentation does not necessarily guarantee the publication in the Journal.
2. Manuscript preparation
Language and material: Manuscripts should be written in clear English on
white vertical A4 size paper (210X297 mm) with a 25 mm margin on all sides. The
text should be typed in one column format with 12 pt font size. Times roman font
or equivalent is recommended. Page numbers should appear at the center of the
bottom of pages.
Title: The title should be set centrally at the top of the first page in
14 pt bold letters.
Authors and affiliations: Set centrally beneath the title with the family
name in upper-case followed by the first name such as gLANGMUIR Irvingh.
Affiliations should be written in italics. If authorsf affiliations are more
than one, correspondence between authors and affiliations must be specified by
superscript 1), 2), etc.
E-mail: Corresponding authorfs e-mail address should be written beneath
the affiliations in italics.
Keywords: Five to ten keywords of the manuscript should be placed beneath
the abstract. Put a comma after each keyword and type them in lower-case except
for special cases such as abbreviations.
Length limit: The total length will be limited to 8 journal pages for
plenary talks, 6 journal pages for invited and oral talks, and 4 journal pages
for contributed papers presented in posters, including figures and tables. A
journal page is printed in two-column format except for title, affiliation,
abstract and keywords. One column contains 51 linesX53 letters (in average) in
76X221 mm rectangular. The height of one line in a journal page is 4.3 mm. A
sample of a journal page is available on our web page http://itc.nifs.ac.jp. Any
papers longer than this limit will not be published. Please rigorously check the
length of your manuscript before submission by utilizing the length-check
(two-columns) sample file.
References: References should be included at the end of the text, and
cited in the text like this [1]. They must be listed in order that they appear
in the text in the following manner:
[1] T.Kakuyugo et al., J. Plasma Fusion Res. 79, 9999 (2003).
The number in bold letters indicates the volume number, followed by the page
number and the year of publication in round brackets.
Figures and tables: All figures and tables should be prepared in black-and-white
(or in gray scale) and arranged in numerical order such as Fig. 1, and drawn one
by one in separate pages. The captions should be below the figures and tables.
Note that figures and tables will be reproduced in one column size (76 mm-width)
or two column size (161 mm-width) in journal pages. A figure of an aspect ratio
1:1 in one column size is approximately equivalent to 20 lines except for a
caption.
3. Manuscript submission
3.1 Submission for review
Bring with you to the conference and turn in your original manuscript and two
copies at the publication desk. The original will be retained at the Editorial
Office and the copies will be forwarded to reviewers. Manuscripts will be
checked in terms of length and format, etc. Please be advised that if these
guidelines are severely violated, manuscripts will not be forwarded to
reviewers, in which case these manuscripts can not be considered for the
publication. Again, authorsf cooperation would be appreciated from the timely
publication point of view. Reviewersf comments will be forwarded to authors as
soon as they become available.

Responding to reviewersf comments, authors are requested to revise and re-submit
their manuscripts to the Editorial Office, whereby the acceptance for
