2. Manuscript Copyrights
As a rule, copyrights for manuscripts printed in JSAE publications, which include the International Journal of
Automotive Engineering, are the property of the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. Authors are
therefore requested to agreed to assign copyright for these writings (including the abstract) to the Society of
Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc in the Online Submission System.
Sample
1. Standard Keywords
The author should select Standard Keywords that allow the reader to infer the content of the paper as a whole, so
Standard Keywords are expected to function as headings and also have a categorizing function. Therefore, words with a
wide range of meaning are appropriate, and the number of words should not be too large.
(1) First, select one word which shows the field of your paper from 17 cords of the first category. Then,
select one or more words from the second category.
(2) Next, select suitable keywords from the title, abstract or body text that is related to the content of the
paper. These Author-selected Keywords are selected in accordance with the procedure below.
2. Author-selected Keywords
(1) Select words and phrases with concrete meanings that are as narrowly defined as possible.
(NA) Critical, Speed
Critical Speed
(NA) Life
Experimental Study
(3) The use of abbreviations shall be limited to those that are in common use as technical terms globally.
(As a rule, authors must not use terms they have invented by themselves.)
(NA) ATC
Aluminum Oxide
(NA) Cu
Copper
(6) When there are multiple words with the same or similar meanings, choose the one that is most concise
and frequently used.
(7) When there is uncertainty as to whether or not to include a word, include it.

The submission of papers to the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. (hereinafter called JSAE) shall
be done as prescribed in these rules.
2.
Authors who wish to submit their papers for publication in the International Journal of Automotive Engineering
may submit the originals (hereinafter called manuscripts) to JSAE whether or not they are JSAE members .
3.
If a submitted manuscript is accepted as a paper, it will be published in the International Journal of Automotive
Engineering.
4.
In addition to papers, Technical Note can be submitted to the International Journal of Automotive Engineering.
4.1 Papers are classified as either Research papers or Technical papers, and they must satisfy the applicable
requirements below.
4.1.1 Research Papers
(1) Papers shall contain original knowledge. (Originality)
(2) Papers shall contain no obvious errors. (Reliability)
(3) Both the writing and the content shall be coherent. (Completeness)
(4) Papers shall be of value for automotiveengineering. (Usefulness)
(5) Papers shall have no difficult expressions and have to be written in an easy-to-understand expression

The date the manuscript arrives at JSAE shall be deemed to be the date of receipt. For papers where the author is
requested to explain the content in detail, shorten it, or so on, if the author's reply and the manuscript are not
returned within two months from the day the request was made by JSAE, the initial date of receipt shall be
deemed invalid. For a paper that is treated as Technical Note by the decision of the Journal Editorial Committee,
