10.1 Kinds of Articles, Changed
This journal specified only
one kind of the original paper at the beginning.
The committee asked to the every contributor that
they must describe the information of the Ethics Committee examination to this
classification.
However both of referees accept the refereeing result to be
a paper concerning the article "Development of Motivative Exercise Device
and Standardization Approach for Evaluation of Walk Ability in Disabled
Elderly", the state of being irrational that the
committee could not perform paper adoption in order that there was no Ethics Committee examination caused.
Furthermore, the same contradiction cause on the paper
"Brain Activity During Motivative Exercise Versus Passive ROM Exercise by
fMRI", the committee member related to the social science expressed
the statistical inspection is indispensable if we adopt it a paper.
This results caused because we decided that classifications of the article
were prepared without taking into consideration
the feature which publishes not only a medical paper but an engineering paper,
and a social science paper, then we changed it into the classification shown
below from volume No. 3.
Original article (Clinical)

emphasis on Original article (Research) and it will be examined if the candidate's
consent has been obtained. And the Ethics Committee examination and statistical
inspection is desirable.
Two papers regarded as the report in this classification in the BIOPHILIA
2-1,
「Development of

Ability in Disabled Elderly」 would be evaluated the Original article (Research) and 「Brain Activity During Motivative Exercise
Versus Passive ROM Exercise by fMRI」would be evaluated
Original article (Clinical).
We recommend you to contribute consulting the above-mentioned information to choose paper
