About the increase of the article processing charge (APC):
e-JSSNT has published more than 1500 papers since 2003 at very low APCs. However, in view of the recent rise in prices, we will raise the APC as follows;
The APC is JPY 10,000 (USD 93) for all papers. This only affects authors who prepare manuscripts by Latex.
The APC increase will take effect for manuscripts submitted on or after April 1, 2024.
We appreciate your understanding.
For conference organizers: Inquiry Form for publishing proceeding papers for international conferences and symposium is now available.
If you are interested, please fill out the Inquiry Form and send it to E-JSSNT Editorial Office: ejssnt@jvss.jp
Preprint Policy and Repository Policy, which set forth the rules for submission of manuscripts published on preprint servers and for publication in repositories of articles that have been accepted for publication, are now available.
From 2022, e-JSSNT adopts a quarterly publication cycle. Four issues are published at the ends of March, June, September, and December. The journal also adopts an Advance Publication system, in which papers will soon appear online after their acceptance. Digital object identifiers (DOIs) are given to all advance published papers so that they can be cited using the DOIs.

〜 A message from Iwao Matsuda, Editor-in-chief of eJSSNT. 〜
There is an increasing demand that research papers are accessible free of charge. To make a paper open access, many commercial and noncommercial journals require authors to pay an article processing charge (APC), which is typically between 150,000 yen and 700,000 yen. Our eJSSNT was launched in 2003 as an electronic open access journal with a reasonable APC (10,000 yen) using J-STAGE as a publication platform. For the last 15 years, 1,280 articles have been published and 620,000 downloads are recorded. By these achievements, the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) features our activity, and my interview article was published in J-STAGE NEWS No. 40 (the interview article was written in Japanese).
Our journal is suitable to publicize outputs of your steady researches as well as your brand-new research results that the community is not yet ready to accept. I persuade you to use eJSSNT as a platform to disclose your challenging ideas and inspiration, which may catch Nobel Committee!
