Instruction to the authors submitting to Journal of Nuclear andRadiochemical Sciences
Journal of Nuclear and Radiochemical Sciences is the international journal in English
issued by The Japan Society of Nuclear and Radiochemical Sciences. The journal covers
all aspects of nuclear and radiochemistry and their related fields. All colleagues areinvited to submit their scientific achievement to the journal.
Several categories of papers are open to submission.
(1) Articles: original works on any subject in nuclear and radiochemistry and their related
fields in full detail.
(2) Notes: short communication including valuable information contributing to theprogress of the fields.
(3) Accounts: papers including new aspects in the specific fields based on the cumulative
results presented in the series of the author's papers (and the unpublished results, ifnecessary).
(4) Reviews: general survey of a subject in nuclear and radiochemistry or their related
fields.
If authors wish to submit a manuscript as a Review or Account paper, it is requested toconsult Editorial Board of the journal prior to submission. This would help to avoid
unnecessary overlap among the subjects in Reviews and Accounts.
All manuscripts will be subjected to the usual stringent refereeing process.

The instructions for submission are given in the following sections.
1. Important Notice to Authors
Unnecessary duplication of publication should be avoided. It is prohibited to submit themanuscript which is submitted to any other journal, or vise versa.
Any change of authorship is not accepted after submission.
If the paper includes figures or illustrations presented in other journals, permission of theuse of the copies should be taken by the author(s) from the copyright holder.
2. Preparation of Manuscript
2.1. Arrangement

Submit electronic files saved in the native format of the word processor used. Eachmanuscript should be arranged in the following order:(1) title of paper(2) name(s) of author(s) with a mark to the corresponding author whose e-mail address
and fax number (if available) are indicated(3) affiliation(s)(4) abstract(5) keywords(6) text (including following sections: introduction, materials and method(s), results anddiscussion, and conclusions)(7) references(8) tables(9) figures (each figure should be printed on a separate page)(10) figure captions
2.2. Printing and Maximum Length
Manuscripts should be type-written with 10.5-12pt font size for the text within about 25
lines of 65 strokes per line on A4 size paper. There is no limitation on the length ofmanuscripts for Reviews and Accounts. The utmost limits of the lengths for Articles andNotes are approximately 6 and 3 printing pages, respectively.
2.3. Citations
All references in the reference list need to be cited in the text, and vice versa. References
are cited by superscript numbers in the text, tables, figures, etc., like …reported.1,…used1-3,6, and are numbered consecutively throughout the paper. When cited on the line,
they are written as ``in Reference 1'', "in References 1-3'', etc. Tables and figures are citedin the text by saying "Table 1'', "Figure 1'', "Figures 1 and 2'', etc. Equations are cited inthe text by saying ``eq 1'', ``eqs 2 and 3'', etc., and spelled out like ``Equation 1…" when
they are the first word of a sentence. Sections are cited in the text as ``sect. 3.2.''
2.4. Artwork
It is highly recommended to prepare figures and illustrations in an electronic form. Eachfigure or illustration is prepared as a separate postscript (PS or EPS) file. Some electronic
files other than postscript files may be acceptable (e.g. PDF, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, etc), with
their minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Color figures are acceptable.

In preparation of figures, it is recommended to use units like "`physical quantity/unit''
instead of "physical quantity(unit)''. Use SI units, for example, Time/min, and Volume/L.

3. Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscript should be spell-checked and grammar-checked.
One set of electrical files of the manuscript are sent to the editor-in-chief of the journalfor submission.

An electronic file is available for each publication with free of charge.
No page charges are applied for publication.
Copyrights must be transferred to the Japan Society of Nuclear and Radiochemical
Sciences before publication or appearance on the web page of the Society.
