Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology
is devoted to the publication of articles on the
scientific progress and the technical development of
photopolymers.
General Paper, Communication, Technical Paper and
Review are published.
All contributions should be written in English.
All the articles must contain an abstract except
Communication, and 3~6 keywords.
Communication is short submission of 2~4 pages
which contain new results. Abstracts are not required.

6. References and footnotes are to be indicated by
Arabic numbers in brackets, [ ]. They should be
arranged in sequences and summarized at the last part
of the text as follows:
1. Y. Okabe, J. Photopolym. Sci. Technol., 1 (1988) 1.
2. M. Tsuda, J. Imag. Technol., 11 (1985) 158.

7. All the figures and tables with captions should be
pasted directly on the sheets of manuscript at the
appropriate place in the text where they are cited. Do
not collect them at the end of your paper.
8. Follow IUPAC rules for names of chemical
compounds and physical quantities. SI units should be
used, except for the special need.
