Author Instruction of Manuscript Preparation and Submission for Contributed
Paper
(Poster presentation only)
1. Introduction
Posters presented at Joint ITC14 and ICAMDATA2004 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. The invited papers will be published separately. To make a timely publication
of these proceedings, the Editorial Office has come up with the following
guidelines for manuscript preparation. Authors' 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 (210 x 297 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 "LANGMUIR Irving". Affiliations should
be written in italics. If there are several authors and affiliations, correspondence
between authors and affiliations should be specified by superscript 1),
2), etc.
E-mail: Corresponding author's 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 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 lines x 53 letters (in average) in 76 x 221 mm rectangular.
The height of one line in a journal page is 4.3 mm. A sample of a journal
page is available here [MS Word / TeX]. Any papers longer than the limit will not be published. Please rigorously
check the length of your manuscript before submission by utilizing the
length-check (two-columns) sample file.
Units: The choice of units and the way to write them should, in general, follow
the rules of the Systeme International (SI) of metric units. It is advisable
that units of the CGS and SI Systems not be used together. The symbols
(or abbreviations) for units should appear in ordinary roman type. In general,
lower-case letters are to be used, although symbols derived from proper
nouns will have their first letter capitalized (e.g., J and Hz). Do not
put a period after the abbreviation for a unit, and use the same form for
singular and plura1.
Fonts: Latin letters used as symbols that represent quantities are generally italicized, whereas units and abbreviations for chemical elements, etc., should all be in ordinary roman type. Vectors are generally in bold italic, with tensors in sans serif. Latin-letter superscripts or subscripts on physical quantities or numbers should be italicized (e.g., an element in a Series ai, ...). However, if a superscript or subscript is an abbreviation of a word, roman type should be used (e.g., Te, Ni, ...).
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).
[2] L. Spitzer, Jr., Physics of Fully Ionized Gases (Interscience Publishers,
Inc., New York,1959), p.20.
[3] S. Tanaka, to be published in Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 22 (1983).
[4] K. Yamamoto, Kakuyugo Kenkyu 51, 5 (1984) [in Japanese]
The number in bold letters indicates the volume number, followed by the
page number and the year of publication in round brackets. Follow the conventions
of ISO/833 for abbreviating the names of journals. When citing a reference
written in a language other than English, indicate the name of the journal
by means of romanized letters or by the English name for the journal, and
at the end of the reference indicate the language used: e.g., [in Japanese]
or [in Russian]. References that are not yet published, but which are set
to be published, may be designated in the bibliography as "to be published
in [name of journal], [volume number], and [year (in parentheses)]."
The volume number, year, and page number may be included at the time of
proofreading if this information can be obtained by then. References to
books should contain (in this order) the author's name, book title (italicized),
editor's name, publisher's name, publisher's location, year of publication,
and chapter or page number. The name of the publisher, his location, and
the year of publication should be inside parentheses. References to proceedings
should be identical in form to book citations. Only degree theses that
have been published may be cited.
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, authors' cooperation would be appreciated from
the timely publication point of view. Reviewers' comments will be forwarded
to authors as soon as they become available.
3.2 Submission for publication
Responding to reviewers' comments, authors are requested to revise and
re-submit their manuscripts to the Editorial Office, whereby the acceptance
for publication will be decided. For the journal publication, the Editorial
Office needs to collect author's revised manuscripts and also their electronic
files. In preparing electronic files, both PC and Mac files are acceptable.
Submission of figures in EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) or PostScript files
is recommended. Again, equations must be prepared using the software compatible
with these platforms.
Type of manuscript file: Microsoft WORD file or LaTeX
file is recommended. Equations must be prepared using the software compatible
with these word processors.
LaTeX Sample file: A LaTeX sample file is available here [TeX]. LaTeX users can prepare the manuscript according to this file. One page of this sample manuscript is approximately equivalent to 0.6 journal page.
WORD
Sample file: A WORD sample file is also available here [MS Word]. WORD users can prepare the manuscript according to this file. One page of this sample manuscript is approximately equivalent to 0.6 journal page.
Reproduction: If manuscripts contain any reproduction from other sources, authors are
requested to furnish the Editorial Office with a document of the original
publisher's agreement.
