Presentation
  1. The presenter must be an individual member (regular, student, foreign or sustaining) of ISJ, having paid a membership fee for the 2022 fiscal year (i.e., from 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2023) for the new ISJ as a general incorporated association.
  2. On-site participants may apply for either an oral or a poster presentation, whereas online participants may apply only for a poster presentation.
  3. The oral presenters have 15 minutes in total (including ca. three minutes for the question and answer session) for their presentation. The presenters can use either a PowerPoint or PDF file. Movies are conditionally acceptable with PowerPoint. The oral presentations will also be available to online participants via ZOOM.
  4. The oral presenters cannot use their personal computers—the computers (Win & Mac) prepared by the organizing committee must be used. The oral presenters must operate PowerPoint or Acrobat by themselves—the organizing committee does not operate them.
  5. The oral presenters must copy the data from their PowerPoint/PDF file onto the computers in the venue using a USB flash memory drive or similar device. The file name of PowerPoint/PDF should be: “Register number of presentation” and “presenter’s name” connected by a hyphen, followed by the file extension (e.g., 012-Toyotomi.pptx, 012-Toyotomi.ppt or 012-Toyotomi.pdf).
  6. The size of on-site posters should not exceed 90 cm in width and 210 cm in height. Thumbtacks and other fixtures will be prepared by the organizing committee. The posters should be set up in the designated space during the forenoon of 18 September and presented for two days (18–19 September). The title and the author’s name and affiliation should be clearly displayed in the uppermost portion of the poster.
  7. The electronic version of the on-site posters will be also presented online for one month to facilitate discussion.
  8. The odd-numbered and even-numbered on-site posters should be attended by the presenters on 18 and 19 September, respectively, during the “core time” (13:30–14:30). The oral session will not be held during this period.
  9. For the online-only posters, there is neither a size limitation nor designated “core time.” Presenters are advised to announce their preferred core time.
  10. The registered number of presentations will be communicated to the participants by the organizing committee after the application deadline has passed.
  11. No photography, recording, or copying of the presentations is allowed.
