Important Notice regarding NOLTA Journal submissions.

1. APC revision
   Due to increased expenses (including NOLTA society operational costs
   and visibility measures such as SEO), we will revise the article
   processing charges (APCs) as follows:

   IEICE and sister society members: JPY 132,000
   Non-members: JPY 154,000

   For papers submitted to the regular section, the new APC will apply to
   manuscripts formally accepted via the submission system on or after
   April 1st, 2026 (Japan time). For special sections, please refer to
   the respective call for papers.

2. Application of new Changes
   The revised APC, advance publication, and the new 2-column author
   template (Ver. 6.0) will apply starting from the following issue:
   Volume 17, Issue 4, 2026 (Published in October, 2026).

3. Instructions for previous template (Ver. 5.1)
   For papers scheduled for publication in Volume 17, Issue 3, 2026 or
   earlier (in either regular or special sections), please continue to
   use the conventional 1-column author template (Ver. 5.1). If you
   require the Ver. 5.1 template, please contact our office at:
