※ If you plan to present your paper and have not yet paid the membership fee, please complete payment as soon as possible.

Oral presentation
Members of either JASID or JAHSS can propose and deliver an oral presentation, either individually or as a group. Co-researchers, whether presenting or not, should preferably be members of either JASID or JAHSS. Oral presentations with similar topics will be organized into a single session with a common theme (2 hours each) by the Conference Committee. Each oral presentation is tentatively scheduled for 30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion). The format of the presentation may change depending on the number of appolications and the result of the screening process.

Poster presentation
Applicants can share research findings in a poster format, either individually or as a group. The presenter can interact with the audience in a freer style than a formal oral presentation. The poster will be displayed in a location and time allocated by the Conference Committee and be evaluated on the first day of the conference by "face-to-face presentation" at the venue. Poster presentations will be judged by JASID and JAHSS respectively, and the best presentation award will be given.
In the case of the JASID, members can apply, and presentations can be made individually or in groups. For the JAHSS, non-members can also apply. For details, please contact the conference organizing committee (jasidjahss2024@gmail.com).

Special Sessions
Members of either JASID or JAHSS can propose and organize a special session consisting of several papers on a specific theme. A chair and two commentators must be proposed. Non-JASID/JAHSS members can present, provided they can make important contributions to the session. The session duration is 2 hours. When applying, the organizer is requested to submit an abstract of the session and of each paper.

Roundtables
Members of either JASID or JAHSS can propose and organize a roundtable characterized by active discussion among presenters and attendees on a specific topic. Non-JASID/JAHSS members can present, provided they can make important contributions to the roundtable. The session duration is 2 hours. When applying, the organizer is requested to submit an abstract of the proposed roundtable. Submission of individual presentation abstracts is optional.
