[Note] Make sure you submit your manuscript and apply for temporary membership at the same
time.
1. Presentation rules

Your presentation paper will be published as academic literature; therefore, we expect that you
examine the content of the manuscript in detail.

The presentation must have original content that has not been published by other academic
societies, and you should be in compliance with the JASE Code of Ethics. Your eligibility to
give a presentation based on the submitted manuscript will be determined by the conference
secretariat after checking your compliance with the Code of Ethics.
2. Notes regarding creating and submitting the manuscript to be included in the
collection of presentation papers

In principle, your manuscript should consist of the following sections: research objective,
method, result, discussion, and conclusion. Japanese or English should be used.

The manuscript should be created using Microsoft Word, and submitted as an e-mail attachment
along with your Presentation Application Form (Word file) to the Conference Preparatory

used,and they should be center-aligned.

The title should be written on Lines 1 and 2 with a font size of 18 points.

The subtitle should be written on Line 3 with a font size of 9 points. If the manuscript does not
have a subtitle, leave Line 3 blank.

Write your name on Line 4. If it is a joint presentation, show the lead presenter by prefixing ○
infront of her/ his name.

Your affiliation should be written in parentheses on Line 5 below your name. If there are joint
names with the same affiliation, write the affiliation only once. If your affiliation is a university,
write your department or laboratory name as well. Graduate students should write their graduate
school name.

Keywords should be written on Line 6 (three words or less).

Line 7 should be left blank.

The body text should be written in black using Mincho font for Japanese and Century font for
English in a font size of 9 points. The body text should start from Line 8. Compose the entire
manuscript from its title to body text and references so that it fits on one page. A manuscript of
two or more pages will not be accepted. If you are writing in Japanese, the page composition
should be 27 characters × 52 lines × 2 columns. If you are writing in English, also use two
columns (see the example below).

Your presentation should be given in the format of a poster presentation. All poster
presentations in this conference should include two approaches: an oral presentation of the
