\section{Introduction}

This template provides formats and styles for ELEX manuscript. It is essential to adhere to this template because your manuscript will be published ``as is'' with minimal copy-editing by the publisher. Do not modify formats (font, font size, paper size, printing area, line space, etc.). Keep one copy of this template untouched for your reference and prepare your manuscript on another copy.


\section{Software and article charge}

Microsoft Word and LaTeX compatible files are officially acceptable for ELEX submission. This template file is designed for MS Word. LaTeX style files can be found elsewhere\,\cite{journal paper1}. Article charge depends on the number of printed pages and the electronic file format:
\begin{enumerate}
\item JPY 55,000 3 or fewer printed pages in Latex format
\item JPY 66,000 3 or fewer printed pages in MS word format
\item JPY 110,000 4 to 6 printed pages in Latex format
\item JPY 132,000 4 to 6 printed pages in MS Word format
\end{enumerate}
A display item of a movie picture requires an extra cost of JPY 3,300 per movie file.
If all authors are non-members, we request an additional JPY 20,000 for letters submitted from June 1st, 2021.






\section{Manuscript length} 

The number of pages is limited by 6. The first page contains paper title, author list, affiliation(s), 100-word-abstract, keywords, and references. Including multimedia files (movie graphics) in a final PDF file is possible, if any, by using attachment function of Adobe Acrobat.


\section{Typographical style}


Consult with Table~\ref{tab:style} on the detail typographical styles.

\subsection{Title}

Title should start flush left. Only the first letter in the title is capitalized (this is true to section titles and figure captions) Avoid including abbreviations unless definitely needed.


\subsection{Author name and affiliation}

Author names should start flush left. Spell out both first and last names but initial middle name. Use one blank line between authors from different affiliations.


\subsection{Abstract}

The abstract should be complete sentence(s) that is limited to approximately 100 words. It should be a concise summary of the paper that clearly conveys the problem, the methods, and the conclusions to readers. It also should include appropriate keywords for the convenience of computer search. Do not include reference numbers.

\subsection{Keywords}

Maximum six (6) keywords are listed. Carefully choose appropriate keywords for your paper being correctly spotted by computerized search.


\subsection{Classification}

Category index in the classification is used by the Editors when directing your manuscript to corresponding Associate Editor. Furthermore it is displayed in ELEX website and in archives for readers' convenience. Choose most relevant category from Table~\ref{tab:classification}. The Editorial Committee may change the subject index that authors select, if the Editorial Committee judges that the authors' selection is not the best. Note that the index might be changed without notification.



\begin{table}[t]

\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}


\subsection{Main text and headings}

Single column format is applied throughout the manuscript. The first line of the first paragraph of each section start flush left. Section headings are numbered consecutively in Arabic numbers. Subsection headings are numbered in Arabic numbers to the right of the decimal point (like this 4.5).

\subsection{Equations}

Equations are centered with the equation number (in Arabic) appearing at the right-hand margin, in parenthesis:
\begin{equation}
T_{\mbox{M}}^{\phi} = 2 \times \frac{G w t^3}{3 l} \phi \left( 1 - \frac{192}{\pi^5} {\frac{t}{w}} \tanh \frac{\pi w}{2 t} \right).
\label{eq1}
\end{equation}


\noindent
Long equations can be folded in several lines but avoid leading to misinterpretation. Equations are referenced in the main text as Eq. (\ref{eq1}).



\subsection{References}

References should appear on the last page of the paper in the orders in which they are referred in the main text. See the examples in this template for different styles for citing a journal paper, a proceeding paper, a paper in review, a whole book, a contributed chapter in a book, a thesis, a patent, and a website. It is authors' responsibility to provide correct information of references. Use a pair of square bracket to cite a reference like this \cite{journal paper1}. Multiple references can be cited like this \cite{journal paper1,journal paper2,journal paper3, proceeding paper1}. More detailed information is given about reference formats on the ELEX website in the Authors tab.


\subsection{Acknowledgements}

Acknowledgements, if any, can be placed at the end of the manuscript.


\section{Display items (figures, tables, and movies)}

You may include display items in a final PDF version of your manuscript but do not exceed 4 MB file size.

\subsection{Figures}

Figures should be placed in the document. Do not submit figures in separate files. Use LaTeX environment ``figure'' (\verb+\begin{figure}+--\verb+\end{figure}+) to place frames for figures. Place your figure as close to as the main text where it is referred. Figure position in published paper may differ from that in your original file, when publisher adjusts the final format. Figures are numbered in Arabic numerals. Figures are referred as Fig.~\ref{fig:scanner} even at the beginning of a sentence. Figure captions are placed under corresponding figures.


\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=8cm]{lens_scanner}
\end{center}
\caption{Include all graphics in the manuscript file. Do not submit figures in
separate files.}
\label{fig:scanner}
\end{figure}



\subsection{Tables}

Tables are placed in the document in the same manner as figures. Tables are referred in Roman numbers such as Table~\ref{tab:style}, without abbreviating to Table~\ref{tab:style}. Table captions are placed above the corresponding tables.



\subsection{Movie files}

It is one of the ELEX features that author could include movie files (mov or mpg) in their final PDF manuscript. Use file attachment tool of Adobe Acrobat (not Acrobat Reader):

1. Select the file attachment tool \includegraphics[width=5mm]{pin}.

2. Select the location where the movie file is placed (in the figure box).

3. Select the movie file from a dialog box.

4. In the comment properties, set the desired options, if needed.

5. Click OK

Movie files are represented by an Adobe Acrobat icon (like this:\includegraphics[width=8mm]{pin2}) and activated by clicking on it. To help readers, you need to place a snapshot of the movie file and place it as a figure. Notice readers that a movie file has been attached (see Fig.~\ref{fig:movie}).

\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=6cm]{snapshot}
\end{center}
\caption{Place a snapshot from the movie file to display for readers. Movie can be activated by clicking on the icon. Movie file attached.}
\label{fig:movie}
\end{figure}



\section{ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)}
Authors who would like to include their Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) in the published manuscript are required to upload a text file named "ORCID.txt" including the list of name and ORCID of each author in the following format:
\\
Name of author 1, ORCID of author 1\\
Name of author 2, ORCID of author 2\\
\ldots\\
Note that ORCID will not be included in advanced publication articles.


\section{Conclusion}

To submit manuscript to ELEX, authors should visit an IEICE website 
(\href{https://review.ieice.org/regist/regist_baseinfo_e.aspx}{https://review.ieice.org/regist/regist\_
\linebreak
baseinfo\_e.aspx}) 
to complete a Manuscript Information Entry Form and to upload the following items: a PDF file for review; an electronic file of manuscript in either LaTeX or MS Word; original art work in separate electronic files. Art-file formats are restricted. Only the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format file is allowed for graphics. The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) format file or MOV format file is acceptable for movies. Self-descriptive file names such as fig1.eps and fig2.mpg are preferred. Authors are also requested to select the subject index (code and field) best fitting manuscript from the candidates. The index is used by the IEICE Publishing Office when directing manuscript to corresponding Associate Editor. Furthermore it is displayed in ELEX website and in archives for readers' convenience. The Editorial Committee may change the subject index that authors select, if the Editorial Committee judges that the authors' selection is not the best.

A. Suggestion for authors preparing multi-color display items

Color figures or movies can be included in ELEX manuscripts. Authors, however, should be reminded that some reviewers/readers might be colorblind. Authors are kindly advised to consider the following suggestions when preparing figures or movies:

1. Avoid using a combination of red and green. Use magenta (purple) and green instead.

2. Do not overuse colors in the graphs but consider using different hatchings, shapes, line types (solid, dotted or dashed) or symbols for different curves.

3. Note that red color does not appear bright or vivid for colorblind people. Avoid using red characters or symbols for the purpose of highlighting.
