Instructions for Contributors
Progress of Theoretical Physics
General:
Manuscripts submitted to the Progress of Theoretical Physics (PTP)
should be typewritten in English, must contain original work which has
not been previously published in any other journal, and is not
currently being considered for publication elsewhere.
Papers and Letters should have a concise abstract.
Letters should be no more than 10 printed pages
in PTP TeX format.
Submission:
Author can submit by uploading the single PDF file of a paper
or by inputting the e-print arXive ID number
via
"PTP Online Submission and Review System".
Please see
"Operation Manual for Manuscript Submission"
for details.
Source file:
For manuscripts written using some form of TeX (LaTeX, Rev TeX,
Plain TeX, etc.) other than PTPTeX, we request submission
of source files after the paper has been accepted for publication.
We also strongly encourage the LaTeX file prepared using the PTPTeX format.
The necessary files and instructions for PTPTeX are
available here.
Color figures:
The standard color printing fee is 50,000 yen
per color page, regardless of the number of figures a page contains.
(In the case that payment is made from within Japan, the appropriate
consumption tax is added.)
Author's proof:
To contributors who do not use TeX or LaTeX files, we provide galley proofs.
Publication fee and reprints:
Resuming the Publication Fee Waiver
The publication fee is calculated according to the formula
3,000 p + 200 p × ( x / 50 ) + 1,000 yen
→ [Publication fee]
- p : the number of pages of the manuscript,
- x : the number of reprints ordered (in units of 50),
- 1,000 yen : shipping cost for overseas only
The fee for 0 reprints is the same as that for 50 reprints.
(In the case that payment is made from within Japan, the appropriate
consumption tax is added.)
Waiver of the publication fee for postdoctoral researchers:
Any paper whose authors include at least one postdoctoral researcher
is eligible to be considered for a fee waiver.
In this case, if it can be demonstrated that the publication fee cannot
be paid, no fee will be charged.
To receive such a waiver, at the time of submission, the authors should
send a letter in which they explain the reason
that no authors can pay the fee.
The signatures of all authors should be included in this letter.
In addition, there should be a similar letter signed by each
faculty member serving as the host or advisor for each postdoctoral
researcher or graduate student among the authors.
If such a request is made, the decision regarding the fee
waiver will be made by the Editorial Committee.
It should be noted, however, that in this case, no reprints can be ordered.
In case the authors are qualified for a waiver of the publication fee,
they are exempted from the proofreading fee.

Theoretical Physics is transferred to the Publication Office of Progress of
