Those who submit a manuscript to the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics (JJAP) Special Issue should do so via the Web-based system by Wednesday, December 4, 2019.

The address for the submission to the Special Issue is different from that for regular issues and is given below.
Please do not submit your manuscript to the regular issues.

Publication from IOP system

The JJAP special issue of USE2019 will be published through the IOP system, ScholarOne Manuscripts System, which will cause changes in the submission and publication process from the previous system. Click here for more information.

Guidelines of JJAP

1. Guidelines of JJAP
1. The paper submitted for the special issue should not be identical to the proceedings paper distributed during the conference. The content of the paper should be original.
2. The submitted paper will be reviewed on the basis of the JJAP standards for an original paper. Not all papers submitted will necessarily be accepted in the final review.
3. If the manuscript is not accepted for publication in the special issue by the deadline for the final revision, the review will be aborted. However, the manuscript can be newly submitted to regular issues of JJAP.
4. The authors of invited papers are also welcome to submit their presentations as a review paper, which will be reviewed on the basis of the JJAP standards for a review paper.

3. Authors

It is strongly requested that the author names shall be identical to those in the proceedings paper presented at the USE2019, including the order of authors. If you have an adequate reason related to the revision of the contents from the USE paper, alternation of the authors is acceptable. But, even in such a case, the first author must be the same as the original USE paper. If you need to change the first author, you can submit the manuscript to the regular issue.


Note that the same person cannot be the first author for multiple papers in the special issue.

4. Submission guideline of Japanese Journal of Applied Physics was modified. Proceeding paper of USE2019 must be cited in the JJAP paper. Also, in order for the submission to be regarded as an original contribution, at least one of the following must be added as a new material in the JJAP paper:
• New data that were not disclosed in the already published article.
• More comprehensive explanation of the basic theory and/or detailed derivation of formulas and equations.
• More comprehensive analysis of the data and/or more in-depth considerations or new interpretations of the results.

Simply adding more sentences and brushing up expressions in the proceeding paper is not sufficient.
The inclusion of new materials is mandatory.

5. The copyright for all contents in the Symposium Proceedings belongs to Symposium on Ultrasonic Electronics Organizing Committee, and one cannot use any contents in the proceedings without permission. However, when authors of the proceedings use figures and tables in their proceedings paper for their corresponding JJAP special-issue (Ultrasonic Electronics) paper, the authors can use them without permission. In this case, however, the authors must cite the proceedings paper in the JJAP paper.

About USE Special Issue

To fully exploit the past achievements in this field published in the JJAP Special Issue -Ultrasonic electronics, as well as to provide appropriate evidence for the novelty and originality of the new contribution, authors are advised to cite many references from the Special Issue. In particular, the latest achievements published in.

• JJAP, Vol. 57, No. 7S1, July 2018
• JJAP, Vol. 58, No. SG1, July 2019

are expected to be most closely related to new contributions.
