A: The journal is sent by “Kuroneko Mail” from the Journal Publication Centre. All other mail is sent via the post office. The following are some of the most common causes of non-delivery of postal items.

Address description was incomplete.

Please register the full address notation, including the room number, on your “My Page” for the mailing address. A great deal of mail is returned because there is no room number in the address.

The surname on the nameplate and the name of the person to whom it is addressed are different.

If the surname given as researcher and the surname on the postal address are different, it is often assumed that the researcher has moved to a new address.

In this case, please add the surname as it appears on the address to the end of the address registered on your “My Page”.

Alternatively, the surname can be added to the family name by notifying the JASID Secretariat Office.

The relocation notice was submitted to the post office but not to JASID

The conference journal is sent by Kuroneko Mail.
For this reason, the journal will not be forwarded to your new address even if you notify the post office of your change of address.
Please complete the following notification form.

See also below for information on the procedures to be taken when moving house.

Every time we send out mail including the journals, a large volume of mail is returned to the JASID Secretariat Office. The JASID Secretariat Office spends an inordinate amount of time checking new addresses and re-directing mail. We would be grateful for your cooperation in ensuring the smooth running of JASID.

Notes on international shipping

JASID also dispatches our journal through a contractor to members who live overseas.

However, due to international circumstances such as new coronavirus infections or the Russian invasion of Ukraine, or postal conditions in the recipient country, there may be cases where the postal item (the conference journal) sent out may not reach you.

For this reason, the JASID Secretariat Office will not be able to respond to any enquiries regarding undelivered journals sent overseas. Please be aware of this in advance.

Members living abroad who wish to stop receiving our journals should contact the JASID Secretariat Office.

A: Even if you live in abroad, you can now continue to be active in various membership activities via the Internet.

However, depending on your location, postal conditions may make it difficult for us to deliver paper copies of the journal. For this reason, when you move abroad, you may take the following procedures depending on your situation.

Stop Sending Postal Mail

All information provided by the academic societies can be obtained via the Internet. The JASID journal can also be viewed on our website or on J-stage.

Due to the unstable postal situation, we request that members residing overseas either stop sending postal mail or set up a domestic mailing address.

Please use the form below to notify us of any changes to your address.

Confirmation of Payment Method of Membership Fee

Even if you live overseas, you can pay your membership fee by credit card on your “My Page”. If you have selected bank check, we ask that you change your payment method to credit card.

You can also send money from your account in Japan to the JASID’s Japan Post Bank account. For members who do not have overseas payment methods, please contact the JASID Secretariat.

Using Recess System

The recess system will be available beginning in fiscal year 2023. This system is available only to members who not have unpaid membership fees.

Please contact the JASID Secretariat for details.

Two methods of payment are available on “My Page”: credit card payment and online banking payment by bank check.

However, bank checks are only available in Japan and cannot accept money transfers from overseas.

For this reason, if you have selected bank check as your payment method when creating your invoice, please send money from overseas to JASID’s Japan Post Bank account, not to the bank check account number.

Please refer to the following page for instructions on how to send money to the Japan Post Bank account.

A: Every August, we ask student members to submit their student ID card to prove that they are students.　At this time, they can continue their student membership if they submit a copy of a document that proves that they are on a leave of absence (e.g., a certificate of absence from school).

Please note that you must remember to renew your membership every year until you return to school. If not submitted, you will become a regular member from the following year. In addition, from the FY2023 (October 2022), we have established a self-suspension system, so you may use it.

For working students, we ask that you join as a full member. If you have any questions, please contact the JASID Secretariat.

The following are some common cases in which you do not receive e-mails from JASID.

If you do not receive an e-mail from us, please check if any of the following cases applies to you. If you still do not receive an e-mail, please contact the Secretariat using the “Contact Us” form.

1. Our membership system has stopped delivering e-mails to you due to repeated delivery errors

Our membership system is designed to automatically stop delivery to e-mail addresses that have failed to send e-mails several times.

If you have not changed your e-mail address but have stopped receiving e-mails from JASID, it is possible that the system has stopped delivery because your organization’s server was temporarily unavailable for maintenance, etc.

In this case, please fill out the “Regain contact with JASID” form to request resumption of e-mail delivery.

Please note that e-mails sent from the JASID membership system contain important information, so we ask that all current JASID members receive our e-mails.

2. E-mail from JASID is blocked

In principle, information from JASID is sent from e-mail addresses in the domain or the domain (membership system). Please set your e-mail address to receive e-mails from these two domains.

If you are using an e-mail account managed by your institution, please ask your institution’s system administrator if e-mail from the above two domains is blocked.

If your institution’s security prevents you from receiving JASID e-mails, please register your personal e-mail address as the address for login to your “My Page”.

3. You are not using the e-mail address registered with JASID

We have seen many cases where members have stopped using the e-mail address registered with JASID. However, they thought they no longer received JASID e-mails.

When you no longer use the e-mail address you have been using for JASID, please change the e-mail address on your “My Page”. If you have already lost access to your “My Page”, please contact the JASID Secretariat.

4. E-mails from JASID arrive in my spam or promotions folder

We sometimes send important notices via our membership system, so please make sure that e-mails from the above domains are set to arrive in your Inbox.

Regarding “I have sent an e-mail to JASID but have not received a reply from JASID”…

If you have replied to an e-mail sent from our membership system, the e-mail will not be sent to the JASID Secretariat (because it is a delivery-only e-mail). If you wish to contact us, please use the Contact Form or send e-mail.

As a rule, the secretariat office is open on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please understand that it may take some time for us to reply.

If you still have not received an e-mail after checking any of the above, please contact the Secretariat. Thank you very much for your cooperation in ensuring the smooth operation of JASID.

A：

If you do not wish to make online payment from your “My Page” due to payment by your institution, please refer to the URL below and send the money to the Japan Post Bank account of JASID.

Note

• Please make sure that the name of the member or membership number can be recognized from the name of the payee and the remarks column.
• Please pay the bank transfer fee.
• If you wish to make a transfer to the Japan Post Bank account from a different name than the member’s name (e.g., affiliated institution), please contact the Secretariat to inform us of the expected date of payment.
• It takes about one week for the payment data to be reflected in the member’s page after the payment is made to Japan Post Bank (money transfer to Japan Post Bank is not immediately reflected in the member’s page).

Answer

A recess system has been in place since 2023. Only members with no outstanding dues are eligible for the scheme. It is possible to recess for up to four consecutive years.

Answer

入会の可否は不定期に開催される「常任理事会」において審議されます。このため、入会可否の通知が届くまでには、申請のタイミングによって2~3カ月程度かかることもございます。

その後、初年度会費の支払・確認と会員番号の付与が完了してから会員サービスの享受が可能となります。このため、入会申込から会員資格を得るまでに最大4カ月ほどかかるとお考えください。

全国大会・春季大会での発表や、学会誌への投稿を検討されている方は、お早めに入会申請手続きをお済ませください。

申請後の手続きの流れについては、以下のページをご参照ください。

Answer

For credit card payments

Payment can be made even if the due date on the invoice has passed.

For bank checks payments

If you have already been issued with a dedicated payee account number, you will not be able to use bank check payments if the account number has expired (within two weeks).

If the expiry date has passed, please transfer the fees to the Society’s Japan Post account (a transfer fee will be charged).

なお、2年間会費の支払いが滞りますと強制退会処分（除名）となります。払い忘れのないよう、くれぐれもご注意ください。

また、退会手続きの具体的な手順は、会員マイページのお知らせ欄にてご案内しております。会員マイページをご覧ください。

退会後の未払会費の取扱について

退会者のなかには「自分はしばらく学会の活動に参加していなかったのだから、未納分の会費は支払う必要がない」と、数年間にわたる学会費を滞納したまま退会される会員がいます。

しかし、学会はその間も学会誌や各種のお知らせの発送など、会員サービスを継続して提供してまいりました。

これには費用が発生しており、他の学会員よりお預かりした学会費から費用を捻出してご提供してきたものです。

このため、退会時には未納分の学会費を必ずご清算していただきますようお願いいたします。

なお、退会された後であっても未納会費に対する学会の請求権は存続いたします。
