Guideline for preparation of manuscript
Journal of Environmental Science for Sustainable Society (JESSS）
Submission of Papers
Authors are requested to submit their original manuscript to the Chief
Editor: Dr Takahisa MIYATAKE, Graduate school of Environmental
Science, Okayama University, 3-1-1, Tsushima-Naka, Kita-ku, Okayama,
Japan. email: matsui@cc.okayama-u.ac.jp
In case of revisions, the authors must resubmit revised manuscripts within 1
month after receipt of the reviewed comments. Failure to do so may lead to
additional review or, in some instances, rejection of the paper.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that
it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that, if accepted,
it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any
other language, without the written consent of the publisher.
Manuscript Preparation
General: Manuscripts must be prepared, double-spaced with 40mm
margins on all sides by Microsoft Word file or PDF file. Good quality
printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. The corresponding
author should be identified (include a Fax number, E-mail address and
telephone number). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors.
Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. An
electronic copy of the paper should accompany the final version. The
Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity.
Paper Length: Authors should try to confine the text to no more that 30
pages, with a total manuscript length (including figures and tables) of 50
pages.
Abstracts: The essential contents of each paper should be recapitulated
briefly in an abstract of not more than 250 words at the head of the paper.
Keywords: Please provide up to six subject keywords, along with regional
index terms. At least four of the subject keywords should be selected.
Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors,
Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix,
References, Figure Captions and then Tables. Do not import the Figures or
Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an
asterisk and footnote. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should
be identified with superscript Arabic numbers.
Units: In general, metric units should be used, preferably the System
International (SI). If other units are used (fathoms, F, knots, etc), the metric
equivalents must be given in parentheses ( ) or by presenting the
dimensionally correct conversion factors as a footnote.
References: All the references must be numbered in the order of appearance
in the article and the right parenthesized numbers are used at the text where
it is referred like this1). For three or more authors, use the first author
followed by "et al." in the main text. The reference list must be summarized
at the end of the main text. Use 9pt font for the list. The reference list is
followed by the date of acceptance with one line spacing between them as
shown in the present sample. The title of the journal should be in italics.
References should be given in the following form:
1) Miles, J. W.: On the generation of surface waves by shear flows, The Journal of
Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 3, Pt. 2, pp. 185-204, 1957.
2) Miche, M.: Amortissement des houles dans le do-maine de l’eau peu profonde,
La Houile Blanche, No. 5, pp. 726-745, 1956.

element method for solving the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes
equations, part 1, International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Vol. 4,
pp. 557-598, 1984.
4) Smith, W.: Cellular phone positioning and travel times estimates, Proceedings of
8th ITS World Congress, CD-ROM, 2000.
References to unpublished literature should be set out in the format detailed
below. The following information needs to be provided: Names and initials
of all authors, Title of work. All other relevant information needed to
identify item. (e.g., technical report, Ph.D. thesis, institute, current status i.e.
in press/unpublished, etc)
Iwata, T.: Research on carbon dioxide exchange across air-sea interfaces,
Ph.D. Thesis, Okayama University, Okayama, Japan, unpublished.
The following provides examples of appropriate citation formats for
non-text and electronic-only information. However, it is requested that a
Web site address, or listserver message is given as a reference only where
the information is unavailable in a more permanent form. If such sources are
given, then please give as complete information as possible.

during UEA Special Project 7, July 1978. Journal of Pollution Research,

Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form,
suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching.
Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and
should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred.
They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within
the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the
figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption.
Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.
Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black
ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be
sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has
been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints
or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of
shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be
reproduced (e.g. black and white or color). If necessary, a scale should be
marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are
not acceptable. Half-tone illustrations should be kept to a minimum.
Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by
converting color figures to 'grey scale' (for the printed version should you
not opt for color in print) please submit in addition usable black and white
prints corresponding to all the color illustrations.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable
caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should
be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase
letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results
presented elsewhere in the manuscript (e.g. in graphs).
Electronic Submission
Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper with the final
version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy
exactly. Authors may submit the text and their papers as Portable
Document Format (PDF). Always keep a backup copy of the electronic
file for reference and safety..
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the author (first named author if no corresponding
author is identified of multi-authored papers) and should be returned within
48 hours of receipt. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors;
any others may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in
full. Please note that authors are urged to check their proofs carefully before
return, since the inclusion of late corrections cannot be guaranteed. The
author should responsible to his corrections. If authors are expecting to be
away from their office when the proofs arrive, arrangements should be made
with colleagues for the proofs to be checked in the author's absence.
