You can submit your papers via Indico.

Please read the instructions below to ensure that you submit your manuscript correctly.
When submitting your paper make sure you include these four elements:
- Your manuscript this is the article as you wrote it with author names and affiliations included. This is not the copy that will be sent for peer review and will be treated as a supplementary file. It should include the authors' names and their institutional affiliation.
- One copy of the manuscript for peer review with all graphics, charts, and tables included or clearly indicated and all names, affiliations and identifying information removed throughout the text. 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.
- If existing, all graphics and charts in their native format (e.g., Excel, jpg, png) as separate, clearly labeled files, to be submitted as supplementary files.
- A signed copy of the copyright form.
