Abstract
The JOURNAL of SUSTAINABLE FUTURES for HUMAN
SECURITY or J-SustaiN originated from the need to
provide an inter-disciplinary forum where the most serious
problems affecting a sustainable future for human security
can be discussed, in recognition of the fact that many
future problems cannot be solved by a “siloed” approach.
The emphasis on sustainable futures is in response to the
general awareness of the need to solve numerous humanrelated problems resulting from the rapid growth of
modern society. The topic of sustainable futures for
human security needs to be discussed in an integrated
way, in accordance with the principles of sustainability,
considering energy and materials supply, economies and
trade, technology, cities, agriculture, social and
environmental aspects. This electronic document is a “live”
template. The various components of your paper [title,
text, heads, etc.] are already defined on the style sheet, as
illustrated by the portions given in this document.
Keywords: word1; word2; word3.

1.
First, confirm that you have the correct template for
your paper size. This template has been tailored for output
on the custom paper size (7.56” x 10.32”). The abstract and
main text should be written in Constantia theme font (in 9
pt).
Introduction
This template, created in MS Word 2007 and saved as
“Word document (.docx)” for the PC, provides authors with
most of the formatting specifications needed for preparing
electronic versions of their papers. The template is used to
format your paper and style the text. All margins, column
widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do
not alter them.
1.1. Subdivision
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered
sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1,
1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section
numbering). Use this numbering also for internal crossreferencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection
may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear
on its own separate line.
1.2. Style
Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors,
Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text (including
figures and tables), Acknowledgements, References, and
Appendix (if necessary). Collate acknowledgements in a
separate section at the end of the article and do not include
them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or
otherwise.
A self-contained abstract of up to 150 to 200 words
outlining in a single paragraph the aims, scope and
conclusions
of
the
paper
must
be
supplied;
acknowledgements (if any); article title abbreviated
appropriately for use as a running headline. Please note that
your abstract may not be any longer than 200 words and
will be sent back at submission stage if it is longer than
allowed. References should be avoided in abstract, but if
essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, nonstandard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided,
but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in
the abstract itself. Provide a maximum of five keywords
(avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with
abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the
field may be eligible
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they
are used in the text, even after they have been defined in the
abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc, dc,
and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations
in the title or heads unless they are un-avoidable.
1.3. Units
o
Corresponding Author
Tel.: +81 ; Fax.: +81 ; E-mail: author@ac.jp
o
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions:
use the international system of units (SI). If other
quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI.
Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of
units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter”, not
Last Name, First NameAuthor 1; Last Name, First NameAuthor2/ J-SustaiN 00 (2016) 000–000
o
“webers/m2”. Spell out units when they appear in text:
“... a few henries”, not “... a few H”.
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25”, not “.25”. Use
“cm3”, not “cc”
1.4. Tables
All tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals.
Headings should be placed above tables, left justified. Leave
one line space between the heading and the table. Only
horizontal lines should be used within a table, to distinguish
the column headings from the body of the table, and
immediately above and below the table. Tables must be
embedded into the text and not supplied separately. Table 1
is an example which authors may find useful.
Figure 1 Example for figure, use 8 pt of font size (table and caption
located at the middle of the body paper)

If your electronic artwork is created in a Microsoft Office
application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) then please supply
'as is' in the native document format. Regardless of the
application used other than Microsoft Office, when your
electronic artwork is finalized, please 'Save as' or convert the
images to one of the following formats (note the resolution
requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone
combinations given below):
1.5. Construction of references
References should be listed at the end of the paper, and
numbered in the order of their appearance in the text.
Authors should ensure that every reference in the text
appears in the list of references and vice versa. The template
will number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The
sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply
to the reference number, as in [3]—do not use “Ref. [3]” or
“reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence:
“Reference [3] was the first...”.
Some examples of how your references should be listed
are given at the end of this template in the ‘References’
section, which will allow you to assemble your reference list
according to the correct format and font size. There is a
shortened form for last page number. e.g., 51–9, and that for
more than 6 authors the first 6 should be listed followed by
“et al.”

EPS (or PDF): Vector drawings, embed all used fonts.
TIFF (or JPEG): Color or grayscale photographs
(halftones), keep to a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF (or JPEG): Bitmapped (pure black & white pixels)
line drawings, keep to a minimum of 1000 dpi.
TIFF (or JPEG): Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone
(color or grayscale), keep to a minimum of 500 dpi.
2.1. Math formulae
Equations and formulae should be typed and numbered
consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses on the
right hand side of the page (if referred to explicitly in the
text), as in Eq. (1).
  x
(1)
They should also be separated from the surrounding text by
one space. Equations should be edited by Mathtype, not in
text or graphic versions. You are suggested to use Mathtype
6.0 (or above version).
2. Author Artwork
All figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals
(1,2,...n). All photographs, schemas, graphs and diagrams are
to be referred to as figures. Line drawings should be good
quality scans or true electronic output. Low-quality scans
are not acceptable. Figures must be embedded into the text
and not supplied separately. Lettering and symbols should
be clearly defined either in the caption or in a legend
provided as part of the figure. Figures should be placed at
the top or bottom of a page wherever possible, as close as
possible to the first reference to them in the paper (see
Figure 1).
3. Language
Please write your text in good English (American or British
usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these). Authors who
feel their English language manuscript may require editing
to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors and to
confirm to correct scientific English may wish to use the
English Language Editing service.
