3.3 Abstract
An abstract of the entire paper should be provided according to the word count requirement in Rule 2.
It should not be divided into multiple paragraphs and, as a whole, should consist of sentences in one 
paragraph. Do not add headings such as “Introduction” or “Methods.” If the writing rule is unclear, refer to 
the Manual for Preparing APA Articles.
3.4 Body
The body of the paper must abide by the following guidelines.
　 (1) Sentence
　  　 Since this journal targets a wide range of readers related to the field of medical welfare, sentences 
should be written in a simple manner, and it should be a logical, accurate, concise, and clear scientific 
article so that it is comprehensible to as many readers as possible. In principle, the article should be 
reviewed by an expert in English before its submission (if there are many language errors, it may be 
returned prior to peer review).
　 (2) Abbreviations
　  　 Abbreviations should not be used except for common abbreviations. If the use of an abbreviation is 
unavoidable, the entire word should be written, and its abbreviation should be enclosed in parentheses 
in the first mention of the word.
　 (3) Structure
　  　 The structure should be as follows: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, References, etc…
　 (4) Heading number
　  　 The order of the heading numbers should be 1, 2.., 1.1, 1.2.., 1.1.1, 1.1.2... If a further sub-heading is 
required, it should be written as (1), (2)..., or A, B...
125
　 (5) Delimiters, symbols, etc.
　  　 Delimiters (e.g., commas, periods, colons, semi-colons) and symbols (e.g., %, =, unequal symbols, <, >) 
should follow the general English notation principles. Units such as “cm” should not be written with 
symbol fonts but with half-width English characters.
　 (6) Notes
　  　 When something to be noted first appears, a number should be affixed as a superscript at the right 
side of the word or concept in the following manner: …
†1), …
†2). If it appears at a sentence break, 
insert it on the right side just before the comma or period. The details of all notes should be placed 
before the References list.
　 (7) Mathematical formula
　  　 Formulas should be expressed in “LaTeX” format, if possible.
3.5 References
3.5.1 In-text citations
One number should be assigned for each reference and must be denoted with a superscript number in 
order of appearance (e.g., …
1), …
2,3), and …
4-6)). The same number is given if the same reference is cited 
multiple times. When one quotes different parts of the same document and wants to specify each page 
number, this must be specified in the body instead of the References list (see 3.5.2 in the next section).
When writing the author’s name in the text, use only the surname, and in the case of multiple authors, 
follow the format below.
　　Two authors: The two names should be joined by “and”: Kawasaki and Egusa
　　 Three or more authors: Only the surname of the first author is written, and others are abbreviated: 
“Kawasaki et al.”
3.5.2 References list
Reference materials cited in the body are all listed in the References list. References must be accurately 
written so that the reader understands the accurate bibliographic information and is able to obtain that 
literature on their own. The following are examples of how references should be written.
　(1) Journal article
