the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan（This guidelines revised and came into force in July 2024）[1] Rules for Submission
1. Categories and Scopes of the IEEJ Transactions
Transactions of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ) are important source of informationdelivered to the society members directly. The authors are advised to read the guidelines before submission as
all submissions to the IEEJ Transactions are processed according to these guidelines. The IEEJ publishes
several Transactions and each of them has each category and scope. Attached Table 1 indicates the IEEJ
Transactions their categories and scopes.

2. Types of Submission, Requirements, and Definition of Released Publications
There are four types of submission for the IEEJ Transactions: Paper, Technical Note, Letter and Discussion,(however, there are two types of submission for IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering,hereinafter referred to as “TEEE”: Paper and Letter.) All Papers, Technical Notes, Letters and Discussions
should satisfy the following individual requirements 2.1 thorough 2.4, and those contents should be inaccordance with Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for the IEEJ. As for “Released Publications”, it’s definedin 2.5.

2.1 Requirements of Paper
Papers published in the IEEJ Transactions should have the contents that contribute to the scientificresearch or technology in the electrical engineering, and should satisfy at least one of the following
requirements (1) through (3), and the three essential requirements (4), (5), and (6) below.
(1) The paper is objectively judged to have creativity. (Creativity)(2) The paper is objectively judged to have originality. (Originality)(3) The paper is useful to the development of the scientific research or the technology. (Usefulness)(4) The paper contains no obvious error.
(5) The paper is non-problematic with respect to copyright laws.
(6) The paper should not be published in the released publications prior to submission to the IEEJ.
However, in the following cases, the author may still submit the paper as a new paper.

Discussion of Paper, Technical Note and Letter and the responses from the author constituteDiscussion. Authors should directly state the point of argument with only a short preamble anddiscover the truth. Discussion should state only what is relevant to the original article and should nottouch upon items disrelated to the paper.
2.5 Definition of Released Publications“Released publications” in these guidelines refer to the books and journals sold in Japan orelsewhere, and journals with reviewed papers published by institutes and associations.
The author may submit a paper or an article published in international conferences and whose
copyright belongs to the IEEJ as a new Paper, Technical Note, or Letter. However, the author mustclearly state in the manuscript that the IEEJ owns the copyright and that the work has been previously
published. The published manuscript must also be attached to the manuscript submitted to the IEEJ.
If the paper or the article has been previously published in printed publications other than thereleased publications, and is non-problematic with respect to copyright laws, the author may submit it
as a new Paper, Technical Note, or Letter. However, the author should clearly state in the manuscriptthat the work has been previously published, and the published manuscript must be attached to themanuscript submitted to the IEEJ, provided, however, that the attachment shall not be necessary if thepaper was made public in technical meetings sponsored or co-sponsored by the IEEJ.
2.6 Preprints Policy
Only manuscripts that have been submitted to the preprint server or are currently published on the
preprint server and whose copyright is owned by the author(s) may be submitted to the IEEJ
Transactions as a paper or an article. However, when submitting manuscripts posted on the preprint
server to the IEEJ Transactions, the following must be observed.
(1) Manuscripts submitted to the preprint server must be those before submission to the IEEJ
Transactions. Manuscripts submitted to the preprint server must not be revised after submission to
the IEEJ Transactions. (Manuscripts must not be revised according to suggestions made during thepeer review process or replaced with papers or articles published in the IEEJ Transactions.) Thismay be a violation of Copyright Act.
(2) Papers or articles submitted for publication in the IEEJ Transactions must list the preprint in thereference and state in a footnote in the lower left-hand corner of the first page that they have been
submitted or published as a preprint.
(3) When a paper or an article is published in the IEEJ Transactions, a link to the paper or article must
be placed in the manuscript published on the preprint server.
(4) With regard to manuscripts published on the preprint server whose copyright is owned by the- 2 -author(s), the copyright is transferred to the IEEJ at the time of submission to the IEEJ Transactions.
Therefore, when such manuscripts are published as a paper or an article in the IEEJ Transactions,and the author(s) or a third party wishes to use all or part of the paper or article, the author(s) or
third party shall do so appropriately using the papers or articles published in the IEEJ Transactions,
not the manuscripts published on the preprint server. (Refer to 4)
3. Qualifications of the Authors
Submissions from both members and non-members of the IEEJ are welcome. However, theapplicable publishing fees for the manuscript authored by only non-members of the IEEJ are different
from those submitted by authors including an IEEJ member. (Refer to [4] 1)
4. Copyright(1) Copyright, which is specified in Rules on Copyright of the IEEJ, of all Papers, Technical Notes,
Letters and Discussions, appearing in the IEEJ Transactions shall belong to the IEEJ. However, thecopyright of Papers and Letters in TEEE, which are open access, belongs to the author. (Refer to 5)
Thus, the authors who will submit Papers, Technical Notes, Letters and Discussions have totransfer a copyright, which is all of the rights stipulated in the provisions from Article 21 to Article
28 in the Copyright Law of Japan, to the IEEJ at initial submission. The IEEJ considers that all theauthors have read and understood the description of Copyright in the Author’s Guidelines for theTransactions of the IEEJ, and transfer the copyright to the IEEJ in agreement with all the items
upon the completion of submission through the IEEJ Paper Management System on the Web.
Please contact the IEEJ Editorial & Publishing Section about how to transfer the copyright whichunable to submit thorough the IEEJ Paper Management System on the Web. (e.g. Discussion.).
However, the following rights will remain with the authors after the copyright transfer.
(a) All rights other than the copyright, such as patent rights.
(b) The author's rights to use the work as part of compiling a biography of his/her work.
(c) The author's rights to reproduce copies of the work for non-commercial use. (e.g. foreducational material.)(d) Other uses of the work that will not infringe upon the Copyright Law of Japan.
(2) Authors must not submit or publish the Paper, Technical Note, Letter and Discussion containing
the same contents to multiple publications. When the Paper, Technical Note, Letter and Discussion
are rejected for publication, the copyright transfer to the IEEJ becomes invalid from the moment
the decision is made to reject.
(3) Authors should be noted the following items in copyright transferring.
(a) Authors should take full cautions in quoting articles from another work to avoid any
infringement of copyright. A written permission to reproduce must be obtained without costwhen copyright permission is required.
(b) All the persons who have made substantial contributions to the work shall appear as authors.
(c) An agreement for publication shall be obtained in cases where it is necessary from a person
having appropriate authority in any organization to which authors belongs.
5. Open Access Option for TEEE
Authors who submit their manuscripts to TEEE can make their manuscripts available for open
access by making a request to the IEEJ in the period between receiving Notification of Acceptanceand prior to submission of the final manuscript.
The copyright of open access manuscripts is transferred from the IEEJ to the author.
The author enters into a publishing license agreement with the publisher John Wiley & Sons.
Instead of the publishing fee, the author pays John Wiley & Sons the Article Publication Charge(APC) required for open access publication. (Refer to Table 4-3)
If the publication license agreement is not concluded, or if the APC is not paid even after thepayment deadline, this will be deemed as the author being unwilling to publish the paper as open

- 3 -access, and the publication license agreement with John Wiley & Sons will become void. The
publishing fee will be charged to the author and made payable to the IEEJ.
6．Penalties for Plagiarism and Duplicate Submission
If plagiarism or duplicate submission is suspected in a Paper, Technical Note, or Letter that isunder review, accepted for publication, or already published in the IEEJ Transactions, the IEEJ will
convene an investigation committee. If the Editorial Affairs Committee determines, based on theinvestigation committee's findings, that plagiarism or duplicate submission has occurred, the IEEJ will
impose any or all of the following penalties on the author(s) and co-author(s) of the Paper, TechnicalNote, or Letter in question. However, submission of a manuscript permitted under [1]2 for submission
to the IEEJ Transactions shall not be considered duplicate submission.
(1) Retraction of the Paper, Technical Note, or Letter and publication of the retraction reason on theWeb. Publishing fees already paid will not be refunded(2) Immediate rejection of all Papers, Technical Notes, or Letters under review by any of the authors
or co-authors involved(3) Prohibition from submitting to or publishing in the IEEJ Transactions for one year or more
(4) Stern warning(5) Requirement for a written apology to the IEEJ
7．Appeals Against Plagiarism and Duplicate Submission Decisions

During the appeal review, the Editorial Affairs Committee chairperson may request the attendance ofindividuals other than committee members if deemed necessary. Only one appeal may be filed for thesame paper, technical note, or letter.

[2] Manuscript Preparation
1. General Remarks
The IEEJ Transactions are public forum for communicating expeditiously and extensively to themembers, the results of new research, development and applications that contribute to the scientificresearch and technology in the electric engineering. When writing a manuscript, the authors should
keep in mind the following points to communicate effectively the information valuable and interesting
to the members and to ensure that the paper is published in the Transactions promptly.
(1) Ensure that the significance of the subject to be published and the results are understandable to thereaders who are the specialists in the field as well as the non-specialists. Special attention should betaken when writing the abstract and the introduction.
(2) Express clearly, omitting the subjects irrelevant to the theme. Check elaborately for any spelling
errors or typographical errors. The IEEJ recommends the manuscript to be read by a reliable third

Double SpaceThis paper presents two multiwavelength methods to improve the accuracy of a DIAL system for measuring SO2 in the lower
atmosphere: a dual-DIAL method using three or four wavelengths, and a curvefitting method using five wavelengths. By theselection of appropriate wavelengths, these methods can eliminate the effects of ozone and aerosols. Since there is no
significant difference in accuracy between the four wavelength dual-DIAL and curvefit methods, the former is advantageous forSO2 detection in view of the measurement and data processing speeds.

be overcome by improving the system constant (laser output,
receiver area, optical efficiency of the receiver). On the other
hand, systematic errors due to ozone and erosols are inherent in
the measurement method, and cannot be eliminated solely by
improving the system constant. In conentional two-wavelength
DIAL, the systematic error is over 1.5 ppb and the measurement
accuracy is insufficient. In order to improve the measurement
accuracy, a multiwavelength differential absorption method using
three or more wavelengths is effective. In this paper we haveconsidered dual-DIAL methods using three or four wavelengths
and a curvefit method using five wavelengths, and indicated thatthe measurement errors due to ozone and aerosols can be reduced
relative to conventional DIAL or eliminated. When thesemethods are compared, four-wavelength dual-DIAL is superior inview of measurement accuracy and measurement/processing
speeds.

or Table 1.3.
(3) Figure and photograph captions should be placed directly below the figures or photographs. And
their captions should be written in lower case letters with only the first letter of the first word
capitalized. Subcaptions must be as (a), (b), or (c), and be placed directly below each figure andphotograph, and avoid listing below the figure and photograph captions in a lump. As all figuresand photographs should have captions, it is unacceptable without legend only Fig. ○. or (a).

format. Resolution of photographs should be greater than 1024 x 768(pixels).
(2) All figures, photographs and tables will be published in color in the online journal without charge
when authors submit a manuscript data in color. And the black and white data submitted byauthors will be appeared in black and white in the online journal. In any of these cases, authors
have to create the manuscript data with great care so that their size, color combination and contrastof all figures, photographs, and tables must contain sufficient contrast and sharpness after
confirming they appear clearly in the black and white print in A4 paper.
