The Editorial Board of Journals, ISIJ has decided that all manuscripts must be submitted along with signed statements from all of the co-authors, because of the increase in the number of submissions received without proper consent of co-authors.

The submitting author is requested to collect signed copies of the “Statement of Originality and Submission Information” form from all of the co-authors (one for each co-author), and upload them as PDF files through the upload screen.
