You can submit your papers via Indico or to our email: journal_submissions@pansig.org.
First and foremost, PanSIG supports new and upcoming authors, so please do your best to follow the journal's style guide and we recommend you to have your paper proofread/reviewed by experienced authors before submission. However, if you have any inquiries, please contact us at: journal@pansig.org
Please note that incomplete submissions (e.g., lacking translated abstracts or necessary graphics), incorrectly formatted submissions (see the style guide for instructions about how to format your submission), or excessively long papers will not be considered for inclusion. Please read the instructions below to ensure that you submit your manuscript correctly.
When submitting your paper make sure you include these four elements:
- Full manuscript: This is the full article with author names and affiliations included. This copy will not be sent for peer review and will be treated as a supplementary file.
- Anonymized manuscript: This is the file that will be sent to the peer reviewers to evaluate your paper. To create the anonymized copy, please remove: all authors names and affiliations, the title of the manuscript, the running head, any and all citations and references to previous authors' work and any other identifying information throughout the text (institutional names, centers, events, links, etc.). Make sure this document includes both an English and a Japanese version of your abstract.
- Use "Author(s) (year)" for any citation or reference (listed first, not alphabetically).
- Use third person, when possible, to reference authors' work.
- Use the phrase: "[Removed for blind peer-review]" (in bold red font) to replace any identifying information throughout the text. - Any graphics and charts in their native format (e.g. jpg, png, etc.) as separate and clearly labeled files, and submitted as supplementary files. In the case of tables, please also provide the file containing the native format (e.g. Excel).
- A signed copy of the copyright form (lead/corresponding author only).
When you are submitting your files make sure they are in the correct format and correctly named.
- Save the full manuscript as a Microsoft Word document with the following file name: "PanSIG2025_Author Surname.docx", for example "PanSIG2025_Smith.docx".
- Save the anonymized manuscript as a Microsoft Word document with the following file name: "PanSIG2025_Surname_anonymized.docx", for example "PanSIG2025_Smith_anonymized.docx".
- Sumit all of the figures in your article in their native format (e.g., Excel, jpg, png) as separate, clearly labeled files. These should be labeled: "PanSIG2025_Surname_Figure#" in the order they appear in your paper. For example, "PanSIG2025_Smith_Figure1.jpg" or "PanSIG2025_Smith_Table1.xls".
Note: It is the responsibility of the author(s) to provide an accurate translation of the abstract.
One of the authors must complete the copyright form and email it at the time of submission. We must receive this form before we can proceed reviewing any submission. This can be downloaded from the copyright form page.
Receipt of your submission will be acknowledged as soon as possible.
