Abstract (8 points, bold): The Abstract should contain approximately 250 words. Body text here and in remainder should be justified, except figures and

5. Section headings
1. General guidelines
Font size should be 11 points for section title, with bold,
flush left style. Font size of the body of the sections and
remaining part of the paper including title of subsections
should be 10 points, with times new roman fonts. All
papers prepared with either LaTex format (style file will
be provided on demand) or Word format. This file should
be considered as “template” and the “instructions to
authors” for the Word format. Prepare your paper(s) by
editing a copy of this file. The paper format should be A4.
Please use single line spacing. Insert a blank line before a
new section heading and around figures and tables.
Margins should be 2.5 cm all around. Please use Page
Numbers at right top for odd number pages and left top for
even number pages. These numbers are temporary. Do not
refer to a Page Number in text.
Note: This paper is not to be read in any form or content.
The conglomeration of equations and other text elements
were put together solely for a typographical illustrative
purpose.
2. Submitting papers
Papers should be submitted in electronic form by email to
hiroaki@iscm.mtcj.org or through EES (Electronic
Editorial System). In addition, we would like to receive a
copy of your manuscript file in PDF format (just for
checking).
3. Page limits
We do not have any page limit for contributed papers,
however we recommend less than 15 pages, because we
will charge each paper 3000JPY for printing and apply
50percent discounted price for electronic journal delivery.
The fixed cost 30000JPY with the same discount rate will
apply for each paper.
5.1 And sub-section headings.
Section headings should be bold in lower case with the
first letter of first words in upper case. Do not use subsubsections more than exceptionally. Please check that
headings are not listed at the bottom of a page, at least two
additional lines should follow. Take away an empty line at
the top of a page, if this should appear.
6. Figures and Tables
All Figures and Tables should appear in the text near to
where they are first referenced. They should be centred
between the margins, and must not fall outside of the
normal printed area of the page which is 170 mm wide by
245 mm high. The font size for all numbers and letters in
the figure, as it appears in your paper, must be at least as
large as that for the running headings (which use 10 pt).
Put table captions above the table, and figure captions
below the figure. Captions should be centred. Refer to
figures and tables as in “Figure 1, Table 1”.
Please take some care to ensure that the tables (or figures)
do not appear out of sequence. Some rewriting may be
required to produce the desired effect. Tables can be
constructed using the Table commands provided by Word:
Table 1 This is an example of a table.

If required, figures or tables can use the full wide of the
printed page. Figures or Tables that span 2 columns can
only appear at the top of a page.

Equations should be flush let with two characters space,
and with a number flush against the right margin as in.
P  K  L  W  U  VAP  PAT ,

In the text, this equation would be referred to as “(1)”.
Please use Equation Editor or MathType. Please remember

that equations are part of the running text, and should be
ended with a full stop (period) if they finish the sentence,
and with a comma, if a sub-sentence follows, and that the
preceding text acknowledges the equation as part of the
sentence (such as no full stop immediately preceding an
equation). The equation number (1) thus follows on the
same line that ends the equation.
Each reference ends with a full stop (period).

Appendices should be after the references.

9. Abbreviations
When abbreviating words, use the full stop (period) to
