After Paper Acceptance

PREPARATION OF ELECTRONIC FILES FOR PRINTING

If the paper is accepted for publication, the authors will be requested to submit the manuscript for printing and the original high-quality figures in order to proceed the publication process. The request will be made by e-mail to the corresponding author, and in some cases, may be given before the notification of acceptance to expediate publication.

Main body

MS-Word or APEX LaTeX format file is accepted. Two-byte fonts should not be used. Contributors who use application software compatible with two-byte characters such as Japanese, Chinese, or Korean fonts, particularly for units or symbolic characters, should be aware that it causes extra delay and manpower for the removal of such characters.

LaTeX files for APEX

We prepare JJAP Class Files for LaTeX 2e and JJAP Style Files for LaTeX 2.09. Please refer to the instruction file bundled with the class/style files for details.
