1. Introduction
Please prepare your extended abstract in the pdf format using this format. The length of the extended abstract is
limited to two A4 (21 x 29.7 cm) pages (no exceptions).
This template file is used for the extended abstract only and available for MS word and LaTeX. The template of the
full paper will be provided based on the JSEM Journal format [1] for MS word and LaTeX.
When preparing the extended abstract for your paper, please make sure that the main idea of your publication is
clearly described. If there are still some parts missing, point them out in an outlook so your reviewers can grasp the full
extent or your investigations. Extended abstracts should not include a separate abstract.
2. Manuscript formatting
The format of title, authors, and affiliations is almost the same as the JSME Journal format [1] except for the
In the extended abstract the spacing is reduced to reserve enough space for main body.
The text headings should be used only first level and the spacing is also reduced as shown in this template.
The format of main body should be used as the JSME Journal format.
3. Figures, equations and references
You are invited to use graphs, images, photos, tables, equations, etc. to clarify your ideas. Sometimes, a picture is
worth a thousand words. Feel free to use colored images but please make sure that the image can be correctly understood
when printed in black and white. The International System of Units (SI units) should be used throughout the manuscript.
