We welcome submissions to Neuroscience News

As well as information about job vacancies, academic meetings, symposiums and subsidies, you are also welcome to submit your proposals to the Society, comments on neuroscience, meeting reports, book reviews, and anything that will contribute to the development of neuroscience. Submissions should conform to the requirements noted below: submissions will only be accepted in the form of electronic media.

A) How to submit proposals to the Society, comments on neuroscience, meeting reports, and book reviews
There are no restrictions on the article length, but we expect a positive contribution to the development of neuroscience. Neuroscience News is in the process of transition to an English-language journal, so we would be grateful if you could send your submissions in both Japanese- and English-language versions. Arranging translation into English is a time-consuming business, so if you submit an English- language version together with the Japanese-language version this will help to reduce the amount of time from submission to publication. The Neuroscience News Editing Subcommittee will decide timing of publication depending on its content.

B) How to submit information related to job vacancies, academic meetings, symposiums and subsidies
Submissions (including image files and tables) should be contained within half an A4-sized page (double-column format). As far as possible, the font size should be 14 for titles and 10 for body text; the titles should not exceed 30 characters in length, and the body text should not exceed 850 in length. Please allow for the size of image files and tables and deduct accordingly when calculating the number of characters.

1. Ideally files should be submitted in either Word or WordPerfect format. If you want to use another format, please consult with us in advance. HTML and RTF files are acceptable regardless of what application software was used to create the file.
2. Image files should be in PICT, JPEG, or TIFF, and should be compressed as much as possible. Please send them separately from the text file.
3. Submissions will not be edited before publication; it is your own responsibility to ensure that they do not contain any errors or mistakes.
4. Submissions will be published in only one issue of Neuroscience News.
5. Information regarding job vacancies, academic meetings, symposiums, and subsidies will be also posted on the website of the Japan Neuroscience Society unless you specifically request otherwise. While there are no restrictions on length, your submission should be as succinct as possible. If a submission is excessively long, some content may be edited out.
6. We are not normally willing to include links to other websites on our site.
7. The deadline for submissions is normally the 25th of February, April, June, August, October and December; however, this deadline is subject to change.
8. There is no charge for publication of submissions in Neuroscience News. However, submissions are normally accepted from members of the JNS or from sponsors or supporting organizations.
9. Submissions should be sent to the following e-mail address:news@jnss.org
(The editing supervisor is Dr. Tomoaki Shirao; each issue is edited by a different member of The Neuroscience News Editing Subcommittee. )
