- One copy of the manuscript for peer review with all graphics, charts, and tables included or clearly indicated and all names and identifying information removed (The first page of this version of your article should be the abstract page, please do not include the page with the authors' information in this file). This is the file that will be sent to the peer reviewers to evaluate your paper. Make sure this document includes both an English and a Japanese version of your abstract.
- All graphics and charts in their native format (e.g., Excel, jpg, png) as separate, clearly labeled files, to be submitted as supplementary files.
