Upon completion, the author should submit ONE paper copy of the revised manuscript plus a final electronic version.<\/p>\n

If images are included in the manuscript, they must be either reproduced on photographic paper or scanned at 300 DPI as a color or black-and-white photograph in JPEG or TIFF format. Authors whose manuscripts have been accepted must also supply a two-line biographical note (for the front page of the article) plus a six-line version (for the Contributors Page).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Stylistic Conventions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.1 Headings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Provide section headings and, where appropriate, subheadings.<\/p>\n

Do not begin an article with a heading (e.g. \u201cIntroduction\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.2 Name order<\/strong><\/p>\n

Give Japanese names in traditional order (e.g., Nishida Kitar\u014d), except in cases when citing a Japanese author whose name has been rendered in Western format in English-language publications (e.g., Harumi Befu).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.3 Chinese Characters\/Kana<\/strong><\/p>\n

Provide characters at the first (and only the first) mention of a person, place name, literary work, era name, or Romanized term.<\/p>\n

Do not provide characters for prefectures, islands (e.g. Hokkaido), provinces, or major cities.<\/p>\n

Do not provide characters for words found in English-language dictionaries (e.g., Shinto, kami), unless they form part of a fuller Japanese phrase or text reference<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.4 Macrons<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indicate long vowels with a macron in a standard font (\u014d, \u016b).<\/p>\n

Otherwise, use circumflexed vowels (\u00f4, \u00fb).<\/p>\n

Provide macrons for all words apart from anglicized ones (e.g., Shinto), and main islands and cities (Hokkaido, Honshu, Tokyo, Osaka).<\/p>\n

Omit macrons if a religious organization does so in its official English name (e.g., Rissho Kosei-kai).<\/p>\n

Retain macrons when they occur in a Japanese-language citation (e.g., Hamuro Yoriaki \u8449\u5ba4\u983c\u662d, \u2018Shint<\/em>\u014d\u2019 no kokoro <\/em>\u300c\u795e\u9053\u300d\u306e\u3053\u3053\u308d, Tokyo: Shunj\u016bsha,* <\/strong>1997).<\/p>\n

*While macrons should be retained for publisher names, it is not necessary to provide the kanji for publishers.<\/p>\n

There may be instances whereby publisher names include place names that require macrons (e.g., T\u014dky\u014d Daigaku Shuppan).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.5 Italicization of Japanese and non-English-language terms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Italicize Japanese and non-English-language terms, except for those that are used frequently in English (e.g., Shinto, kami) or found in standard English dictionaries.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.6 Syllables<\/strong><\/p>\n

Show syllable divisions with an apostrophe (e.g., shin\u2019y<\/em>\u014d<\/em>), but only if needed to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.7 Japanese\/non-English-language phrases<\/strong><\/p>\n

In principle, the characters for names, terms, and places should immediately follow the Romanized version (e.g., Yasumaru Yoshio \u5b89\u4e38\u826f\u592b, shinbutsu bunri <\/em>\u795e\u4ecf\u5206\u96e2, Hagurosan \u7fbd\u9ed2\u5c71).<\/p>\n

This also applies to all references and footnotes.<\/p>\n

In cases of different readings, use the following abbreviations:<\/p>\n

Jp. Japanese Ch. Chinese Sk. Sanskrit<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.8 Spelling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use American spelling (e.g. center, not centre).<\/p>\n

An exception may be made for extracted quotations where the original uses British spelling.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.9 Use of all caps\/small caps<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the Sh\u016bky\u014d kenky\u016b<\/em> uses small caps to indicate authors\u2019 surnames in textual references (e.g., YOSHIDA 1970, 37) and bibliographies, do not use all caps or small caps anywhere in the manuscript, except in the case of abbreviations in references (see 3.1 References d. Abbreviations).<\/p>\n

Small caps will be added as necessary during the editing process.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Documentation<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.1 Citations within text<\/strong><\/p>\n

For references to works within the text (including footnotes), use the author-date system with the surname of the author, year of publication (without intervening punctuation), followed by a comma then page numbers, e.g., (Jones 1979, 379); for consecutive numbers, use (Suzuki 2001, 289\u201393).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.2 Footnotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indicate footnotes in the text with a raised Arabic number.<\/p>\n

Assign footnote numbers consecutively throughout the manuscript, but supply them on a separate sheet of paper at the end of the text.<\/p>\n

Use footnotes for supplementary data or ideas, but use citation notes for simple references (see 3.1).<\/p>\n

3.3 References<\/strong><\/p>\n

Supply full bibliographical information in a section entitled \u201cReferences\u201d at the end of the document. Each Japanese title must include all characters, including author names.<\/p>\n

d. Abbreviations<\/p>\n

Where work from a major series is being cited, it may be helpful to provide an abbreviation to cite the work in the text and footnotes.<\/p>\n

For example, the References will list the full bibliographical information in this format:<\/p>\n

SDZ Suzuki Daisetsu zensh\u016b <\/em>\u9234\u6728\u5927\u62d9\u5168\u96c6. Suzuki Daisetsu Teitar\u014d \u9234\u6728\u5927\u62d9\u8c9e\u592a\u90ce, 40 vols.
