• MANUSCRIPTS. The Chemical Education Journal (CEJ) publishes two types of contribution: research papers and teaching-materials, about chemical education and education activities in either English or Japanese. Each manuscript should be composed of WWW (world wide web) pages such as HTML (hyper text markup language) files, sound and/or picture files, and so on; and each WWW page should be readable by a WWW browser. By your submission of the manuscript to CEJ you warrant that the article is an original work on your part and has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
• SUBMISSION. Every contributor loads the manuscript on a WWW server; then, none of the WWW pages except for the manuscript must link to the manuscript. Note that the Editorial Board (EB) of CEJ regards the manuscript as being published if any WWW page except for the manuscript calls it. If you have no such WWW servers, consult the EB of CEJ by
  e-mail = cej-officemail.edu.utsunomiya-u.ac.jp
  The submission of the URL (uniform resource locator) of the first page (root page) of the manuscript to the EB should be by the e-mail. The first page must contain the title, a list of author's names, the postal address of the institution at which the work was done, and the abstract; the corresponding author with the e-mail address is indicated by an asterisk.
• REVIEWING. Every research paper will be subject to anonymous review by experts who are not the editors of CEJ. Each teaching-material contribution will be reviewed by the EB only, and not subjected to anonymous peer-review refereeing. Notwithstanding the reviewing of the manuscript, the final decision on acceptance, revision, or rejection remains with the EB. Authors for whom English is a foreign language are advised to have the contribution checked by native English speakers. The corresponding author must reply the e-mail message of the EB within 1 week.
• ACCEPTANCE. The volume number, the date of reception, etc., will be sent to the corresponding author, if the manuscript is accepted for publication in CEJ. Then the author should add these data (and the term [Refereed Research Paper] if the article is a research paper) to the top of the manuscript on the WWW server.
• COPYRIGHTS. Authors are not required to transfer the copyrights to CEJ. However, every author must guarantee to the readers of CEJ the readability of the article on the WWW server for 6 months, and cannot submit the manuscript to other journals for 3 months; no corrected version must be loaded on the WWW server during these time intervals. The EB of CEJ disclaims all responsibility for the publication of CEJ. Submitted contents are the responsibility of the authors concerned. No reprints are available to authors.
