|
| Papers for presentation will be published by full-scale simple offset printing at A4 size, so that a manuscript formatted improperly cannot be used as an original master for printing. Therefore, please keep in mind the following instructions when writing a manuscript. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1 |
Paper manuscript and bookbinding of documents |
|
A4 size paper (29.7 cm (L) x 21.0 cm (W)) will be used. On one sheet (one page), text will be formed into 52 characters x 50 lines x two-column format (5,200 characters).

|

Numbering and font color |

Put the page number in the lower right margin of each page in the form of "page number/total number of pages" (for example, in a 6-page paper, the page number is represented as 1/6, 2/6, ooo, or 6/6), and also a paper number in the upper right margin of each page. |
|

Notes on PDF conversion of a paper manuscript to be submitted |
|
| a. |
Usable fonts |

Fonts used in the manuscript are limited to the following fonts: Arial, Century, Times, Times New Roman, Helvetica, and Symbol. If fonts other than these ones are used, characters may be garbled due to printing conditions. |
| b. |
Colors |
|
Colors in the manuscript are not limited. However, select colors carefully so that the paper can be printed clearly in gray scale. |
| c. |
Resolution of pictures and images |
|
If the manuscript contains pictures and images, their output quality may be degraded due to PDF conversion. Make the job option value higher when making the PDF conversion. |
| d. |

Submit an electronic manuscript which is created as a PDF file (font embedded,
600 dpi resolution) that can be viewed and printed with Adobe Acrobat Reader

Remarks |
|
| - |
If a paper manuscript includes color, especially blue and yellow, the paper may be clearly printed in gray scale. And if the resolution of figures, tables, pictures, and forth in a paper manuscript is low, similar situations may occur. Therefore, you should print out your manuscript in gray scale and check the print appearance. |
| - |
Errors concerning chapter numbering, such as duplication and mismatching, are observed frequently. You should check this again at the time of submission. (Submitted paper manuscripts in PDF will be printed without modification.) |
| - |
When using fonts other than "usable fonts" in the section 6, "Notes on PDF conversion of a paper manuscript to be submitted", or when using a printing condition different from that of authors, characters may be garbled. Therefore, you should keep this in mind. (Submitted paper manuscripts in PDF will be printed without modification.) |
| - |
When printing a LaTex-style file, printing positions are shifted on rare occasions. In this case, indicate printing positions and values according to printing conditions as follows: |
|
\hoffset - 10 mm <- Shift to left by 10 mm |
|
\voffset - 10 mm <- Shift down by 10 mm |
| - |
When a presenter at a technical meeting is under about 35, he/she is regarded as qualified for recommendation as a candidate for the Excellent Presenter Prize A, regardless of IEEJ membership, and an assessment of his/her presentation is conducted in parallel with the presentation. Therefore, do not forget to fill in the birth date of the presenter in "Application for presentation at an IEEJ technical meeting". However, when you have already sent to the Business Service Section of the IEEJ an "Application for presentation at an IEEJ technical meeting" described with the birth date, you do not need to send it again. |
