Review Policy

Manuscripts submitted will be subject to reviews by an editorial team board and a peer reviewer who is an expert and familiar with the relevant field of research. After the review process, the Managing Editor will inform the authors of the manuscript's acceptance, rejection, or necessity of revision.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global knowledge exchange.

Paper Format

The word limit for the submission is 3000-10000 words (including of abstract). The sequence of manuscripts following: Title; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Theory or Calculation (if any); Experimental Methods; Result and Discussion; Conclusion; Acknowledgment; and References.

Title

Title of articles are written in Book Antiqua Bold (16 pt) and preferably not more than 14 words. Author(s) name, affiliations, and e-mail

Abstract

The abstract should be no longer than 400 words, giving a brief summary of the content and conclusions. Do not include artwork, tables, elaborate equations, or references.

Keywords

Keywords are arranged alphabetically and should have at least two keywords and maximum of five keywords separated by a semicolon (;).

Introduction

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, state the art, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

Theory and Calculation (if any)

A theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis. 

Experimental Methods

Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced. A reference should indicate methods already published. Only relevant modifications should be described.

Results and Discussion

Results should be clear and concise. Discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

Conclusion

The conclusion section is required. It contains the main points of the article. It should not replicate the abstract but might elaborate on the work's significant results, possible applications, and extensions.

Acknowledgment

Acknowledgment is recommended for persons or organizations helping the authors in many ways. Sponsor and financial support acknowledgments may be placed in this section. Use the singular heading even if you have many acknowledgments.

References

We recommend authors use reference manager applications such as Mendeley regarding bibliographical style. Then, choose the IEEE Citation Style as the bibliographical manual style such as below:

Reference numbers should be indicated in the text by square brackets, e.g., [1], [1,3], or [1-3]. The list of references should be numbered at the end of the paper according to their appearance in the text. Titles of non-English references should be translated into English and end with the original language in parenthesis (in Japanese, etc.).

ARTICLE FORMAT

The article should be written in Book Antiqua 11, MS Words for Windows of A4 paper. A template of the article can be downloaded on this website.

UNITS, SYMBOLS, ABBREVIATIONS, and EQUATIONS

SI units should be used throughout, but other established units may be included in the brackets. Abbreviations should be defined when they first appear in the text. Equations should be numbered on the right side of the paper in ordinary brackets (no.). Use the Microsoft Equation Editor or the MathType add-on (http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/) for equations in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New | Microsoft Equation or MathType Equation). “Float over text” should not be selected.

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). First, use the equation editor to create the equation. Then, select the “Equation” markup style. Press the tab key and write the equation number in parentheses. You may use the solidus (/), the exp function, or appropriate exponents to make your equations more compact. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. 

FIGURES AND TABLES

Figures and tables should be numbered using Arabic numerals and kept to a minimum, consistent with clearly presenting the work reported. Numbers and titles of figures should be placed below the figures, while those of tables should be placed above.

Because IPR will do the final formatting of your paper, you do not need to position figures and tables at the top and bottom of each column. All figures, figure captions, and tables can be at the end of the paper. Large figures and tables may span both columns. Place figure captions below the figures; place table titles above the tables. If your figure has two parts, include the labels “(a)” and “(b)” as part of the artwork. Please verify that the figures and tables you mention in the text exist. Please do not include captions as part of the figures. Do not put captions in “text boxes” linked to the figures. Do not put borders around the outside of your figures. Use the abbreviation “Fig.” except at the beginning of a sentence should use “Figure”. Do not abbreviate “Table.” Tables are numbered with Roman numerals. Color printing of figures is available. Do not use color unless it is necessary to interpret your figures properly.

Figure axis labels are often confusing. Use words rather than symbols. For example, write the quantity “Magnetization” or “Magnetization M,” not just “M.” Put units in parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. For example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization (Am^-1),” not just “A/m.” Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K),” not “Temperature/K.”

Multipliers can be especially confusing. Write “Magnetization (kA/m)” or “Magnetization (10³ A/m).” Figure labels should be legible, 9-point type.
