To all presenters at J-SLA Conference

J-SLA has established a “J-SLA Selected Papers” section to publish short papers based on research presented at the Annual Conference and the Autumn Conference. This section appears as a conference-based selected papers section within the website of J-SLA. Please refer to J-SLA Selected Papers Submission Guidelines for details.

■ Eligibility

All presentations delivered at the current or previous year’s J-SLA International Conference or Autumn Conference are eligible. Eligibility to submit remains valid for two years after the conference (at the time of first submission). Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis. There is no fixed deadline.

■ Manuscript format

• A short paper based on the conference presentation (maximum 12 pages, following the template). 

• Reasonable revisions are permitted in light of questions and discussion at the conference or subsequent research developments.

• After publication in this section, authors are encouraged to develop the work further and submit it as a full article.

■ Authorship

• The conference presenter must be included as an author unless there is a clear and justified reason otherwise.

• The addition of co-authors is permitted only where there is a valid research-ethical justification.

■ Review process

• All submissions are peer-reviewed by the Editorial Board.

• Decisions are categorised as “Accept”, “Accept with Conditions”, or “Reject”.

• Evaluation follows criteria consistent with those used in the conference review process and is based on an overall assessment.

■ Bibliographic information

When citing the work or listing it as an academic publication, please include the section title:

Author, A. (20XX). Title of paper. Selected Papers from J-SLA Conference, 1. xxx-xxx (page number).

We welcome your submissions. This section provides an opportunity to develop your conference presentation into a peer-reviewed publication.
