All authors of an article are asked to indicate their names (with one forename in full for each author, other forenames being given as initials followed by the surname) and the name and full postal address (including postal code) of the establishment(s) where the work was done. If there is more than one institution involved in the work, authors’ names should be linked to the appropriate institutions by the use of 1, 2, 3, etc superscript. Telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses of the authors could be published as well. One author should be identified as a Corresponding Author. The e-mail address of the corresponding author will be published, unless requested otherwise.
4. The JNRSSH style is to include information about the author(s) of an article. Therefore we encourage the authors to submit their photos and short CVs.

7. All papers are reviewed (double-blind reviews) by at least two reviewers, a list of reviewers maintained by JNRSSH, and other experts identified by the associate editors. Names of the selected reviewers are not disclosed to authors. The reviewers’ comments are sent to authors for consideration.
8. Original reviews of submitted manuscripts remain deposited for 3 years.
