• Application Form for Publication in JJAP

  Contributors are requested to send both (1) Application Form for Publication and (2) Agreement of Copyright Transfer & Payment of Publication Charge with their paper submission. Submissions without the application and agreement forms will not be processed for a review. For contributors making web-based submissions, while (1) is included as part of the submission process, (2) must be sent to the editorial office via fax and conventional mail.

• Classification Scheme [ PDF / HTML ]

  The classification scheme is used for indexing papers, searching the online edition of the journal and other journal publishing purposes as below;
  1. The editor(s) for the submitted papers is/are selected according to the classification numbers.
  2. Papers accepted for publication will appear in an issue in the order determined according to the main and secondary classification numbers.
  3. Papers will be listed under both the main and the sub classification numbers in the journal subject index.

  It is important that contributors carefully select two numbers, the main and secondary classification numbers, preferably both, from the scheme (ex. Main- A02, Sub- K10). For example, selection of two numbers indicating a combination of a phenomenon and methods, or materials and characteristics, is recommended.

  The editorial board reserves the right to change the classification numbers on the basis of the editorial policy of the journal.
