Eco-Engineering: Instructions for Authors |
|
|
Eco-Engineering is published four times per year. At least one of the authors must be a member of the Society of Eco-Engineering when the manuscript is submitted for review.
Manuscripts |
The journal publishes original papers, short communication, research reviews, and explanations dealing with any aspects of eco-engineering. Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The original papers and short communication should include significant new findings. Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication, the editor or the publisher will reserve the right to modify typescripts in order to eliminate ambiguous or redundant descriptions and then to improve communication between authors and readers. The research reviews and explanations are requested by the editor. All contributions accepted for publication become the copyright of The Society of Eco-Engineering.
If the first author is a university student or young researcher that studying for a doctorate, and is the member of the Society of Eco-Engineering, it is possible to submit to the express papers category. This category is dealt with both the original papers and short communications. Peer review of the papers submitted in this category is quick, however, if the manuscript does not comply with the submission rules, or if there are many typographical errors and grammatical errors, it may be changed to normal review category.

Preparation of the manuscript |
- Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, on one side only of A4 paper. All pages beginning with the title page should be numbered consecutively in the upper right-hand corner. The name of the first author should also be described in the upper right-hand corner. Every fifth line should be numbered consecutively on the left side of the text. The top, bottom, left-hand side, and right-hand side margins should be 24, 24, 30, and 60 mm, respectively. Locations of figures and tables to be inserted should be indicated in the margins of the text.
- Manuscripts should be written in Japanese or English. When submitting the manuscript written in English, any author whose native language is other than English is strongly recommended to have the manuscript checked before submitting the paper.
- Original papers should be presented in the following order: title page, abstract, key words, introduction, methods, results, discussion, acknowledgements, and references. Short communication should include abstract, key words, text, and references. Research reviews should consist of abstract, key words, introduction, text, and references.Explanation and Commemorative Lecture for the Academic
Award should be dealt with in the same matter as other manuscripts.
- The title page should contain (i) a concise and informative title, (ii) the full names of the authors, and (iii) the institutions and addresses of the authors.
- Abstract should provide the purpose, basic procedures, main findings, and principal conclusions and must not exceed 250 words.
- A maximum of five keywords should be indicated below the abstract in alphabetical order to describe the contents of the manuscript.
- Each table or figure should be given on a separate page, numbered and titled. The title must be written in English, and standard fonts (e.g. Century, Times New Roman etc.) should be used. Figures will be sized to fit within the column (80 mm) or the full text width. The size of the letters in figures should not exceed 8 pt after print publication. If a tracing of the original picture is necessary, the author will be charged actual expenses. Please note that, as a general rule, submitted color photographs are printed as black and white photographs in the journal.
- Reference to work up to two authors in the text should be made in full, e.g. Tako and Nitta (1999) or (Tako and Nitta, 1999). Several papers published by the same author(s) in the same year should be lettered in sequence, e.g. (Tako and Nitta, 1999a; b). If the number of authors exceeds two, the name of the first authors should be used followed by "et al.", e.g. (Nitta et al., 1967). Reference to publications by different groups of authors with the same first author and date of publication should be made as: (Nitta et al., 1967a; b). Reference to plural publications in the text should be made in chronological order.
References in the list should be given in alphabetical order, according to the surname of the first author. Several papers published by the same first author should be ranked according to the number of the authors, and the papers with the same number of authors should be listed in alphabetical order. The journal name should be abbreviated according to List of serial title word abbreviations (ISDS International Centre, Paris, France, 1991). Please note the following formats in listing papers, entire books, chapters in books, and online sources.
