Preparation of manuscripts
1.Text
a) The manuscript should be formatted in the international size A4, with double spacing and wide margins.
b) The first page should include: the title, the name(s) of the author(s), and their affiliations. If possible, a Japanese translation of the title and the name(s) of the author(s) should be provided. If they are not, the translation will be undertaken by the BGR editorial board.
c) An abstract not exceeding 250 words must be provided for all manuscripts.
d) Up to five keywords that describe the paper for indexing purposes must be provided.
2.References
References in the text will include the name(s) of the author(s), followed by the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. (Clarke, 2003), (Li and Sturm, 2002), (Harrison et al., 2001). A list of cited references should be arranged alphabetically. Refer to this issue of the BGR for examples of citations and journal abbreviations. If the abbreviation is not known, then the full title of the journal should be used in the reference list.
3.Units
Numerical units should conform to the International System (SI). Units should be in the form as m s-1 not as m/s.

Tables should be compiled on separate sheets. A title and a short explanation should be provided for each table and they should be referred to in the text. Efforts should be made to make the size of the tables correspond with the BGR's format (max. 172x254 mm).
5.Figures
