The manuscript should be complete by itself. Lastly, as a member of the Editorial staff of this Journal, I would like to urge future authors to read the Instructions to the Authors carefully. There are many manuscripts that do not follow these instructions. If the style is not consistent with that of the Journal, the authors are requested to revise the manuscript properly and this takes time and effort and delays publication. Since many manuscripts are generated by computers, the authors are cordially requested to at least check the spelling.
English writing continues to be a difficult and challenging task for Japanese researchers.
There is no wonder cure for this problem. Technical aspects of English writing such as usage of correct grammar can be assisted by a professional English revising service. The most important aspect of scientific writing to me is the clear presentation of data and well constructed discussion. I urge young researchers to try to develop their own way of English writing in the early stage of their career. It is easy to say but difficult to practice.
