IPSJ accepts submission of multimedia data (video file, audio file, etc.) along with papers. Because this special issue deals with entertainment, it is recommended to submit multimedia data in order to accurately review the concrete contents of research results that cannot be communicated only on paper and to leave them as research materials that can be permanently referenced. The submitted multimedia data is referenced as necessary in the peer-review process as content to supplement the assertion of the paper. If the paper is accepted, the data will be collected in IPSJ digital library along with the paper.

Due to the nature of the entertainment research, describing the "experience" achieved in the paper is worth it for the reader. Using Entertainment Design Assets (EDA) is a possible solution to describe the experience. Please refer to the link below for details regarding EDA.
