Preparation of Manuscripts
Manuscripts must be written in English typed in two columns fifty-seven lines per column on numbered pages of A4 or US letter size. All figures and tables should be included in the most appropriate locations within the main text, and not placed on separate pages.
A corresponding author will be requested to consent to an agreement transferring copyright on behalf of all authors. All authors will be requested to consent to agreements of submission and authorship.
All authors are encouraged to register or add their ORCID ID when submitting their manuscript or creating their account. The ORCID ID will appear in the published manuscript if an author registers or adds their ORCID ID. Please visit http://www.orcid.org to learn more.
Authors are recommended to refer to recent issues for guidance on style. Online journal volumes are available:

Title and authors: This should contain the following items in the given order.
i) Title
ii) Author's names (given name, middle initial and surname), affiliations and addresses. If authors' affiliations differ, these should be identified by use of superscripts 1, 2, etc. Identify the corresponding author and give the telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.
iii) If the research has been presented in part at a meeting, give the name, place and date of the meeting.
2) Abstract: A brief summary (less than 300 words for research papers and journal reviews and 150 words for SC) of scope, significant results and conclusions, followed by five keywords. Each keyword should consist of no more than three words.
3) Main Text: For example, main headings will be Introduction, 1. Experimental, 2. Results, 3. Discussion, Conclusions, (Appendix), (Acknowledgment), Nomenclature, and Literature Cited. Leave a blank line above and below each main heading.
i) Equations: Number of equations in order with parentheses. Cite as Eq. (1), Eqs. (3) and (5). Spell out "Equation" if at the beginning of a sentence.
ii) Figures and Tables: Each figure and table must have a caption. Cite as Figure 1, Figures 2 and 3, and Table 1. Color reproduction will be provided at no cost, if it is essential to clarify the description.
iii) Literature: Cite in the text as follows: Carslaw and Jaeger (1960), Tan and Liou (1989a, 1989b), (Carslaw and Jaeger, 1960), and (Tan and Liou, 1989a, 1989b)
iv) Units: The use of SI units is recommended.
Examples: k [W/(m K)] or k [Wm-1K-1], k = 0.58 W/(m K) or k = 0.58 Wm-1K-1
v) Chemical Nomenclature: Use IUPAC or Chemical Abstract conventions.
4) Nomenclature: List symbols in alphabetical order with their definition and SI units. Greek letters, subscripts and superscripts should follow Roman symbols.
5) Literature Cited: Arrange in alphabetical order according to last name of first author, patentee or editor. Refer to recent issues for the style. Important note for authors citing articles written in Japanese.
The Journal requests authors to use only romanized text in Journal articles. If the cited work has an official English translation, authors are requested to use that translation. However, if the cited work does not have an official translation, authors are requested to translate the citation information into English and provide both English and romanized Japanese. Citation of works in Japanese should be provided by authors as follows.
For references that have an official English translation, the English should be used directly. For references that do not have an official English translation, authors are requested to:
i) write the journal title in romanized text (e.g., Kagaku Kogaku Ronbunshu),
ii) for the case of books or patents, translate the title into English and provide both English and romanized Japanese, and
iii) translate the article's title into English and include the phrase (in Japanese) just after the title.
