Content Guidelines

How do you select a topic?

The selection of a suitable topic is an important aspect of content creation.
A topic that focuses on a specific keyword is often more effective than a broad topic.
This is because it makes it easier to create content that is both searchable and readable.

What is the minimum content length?

While the length of content may vary depending on the author's preference,
there is a minimum length requirement for fairness and to ensure that
the content is informative for all readers.

The minimum length for submissions is three A4 pages of text, which equates to approximately 1,500 words. Although it may sound like a substantial amount,
the pages will be filled quickly as you begin to write.

Worried about too much content?

If you have a large amount of content, such as a description of a structure design
process, it is recommended to divide it into smaller sections.

If you are concerned about the length of your completed content,
please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please put a sub-title that fits the topic and content

In order to create content that is easily readable, it is important to provide
subheadings that match the content. Subheadings help to break up
the text and make it easier to understand.

Indicating the source of a picture or image

When using photos or images in your content, it is important to give proper
attribution to the copyright holder. This is a basic courtesy and helps to avoid potential copyright issues.
If you need photos or images, there are many websites with free images available.

Citations and References

When creating content, it is important to indicate the source of any materials that you reference. Please use a recognized citation method such as APA, MLA, or ISO 690 to indicate your sources.

When using captured design criteria

When capturing design criteria, it is important to accurately record the name of the
criteria and the chapter it comes from.
You can also include a link to the Construction Standards Center for reference.
When including images in your content, be sure to add a caption to provide additional context and understanding.

Add a caption to the illustration

Please attach a photo description to better convey the content
and help understand the illustration.

Send the original file as well

If you create an image or chart using tools like PPT, be sure to send the original file along with the final content.
This will allow us to create high-quality images for your content.

Formulas

For any necessary or important formulas in your content, it is recommended to use the formula input tool in Word or PPT.
This will improve the readability of the content.

Use related data or Excel calculation sheets

To make your content more popular and increase its visibility, consider adding related data, Excel calculations, or helpful materials as attachments. This can help to engage readers and make your content more valuable. However, be careful not to include too much data or information that could damage the value of your content or result in copyright issues.

Let’s use a calculation example

The presence of appropriate illustrations and calculation examples
enhances the value of the content compared to mere text-based content.
You can create examples using tables or formulas,
or attach a picture of a manually solved example.

Hashtag is a must!

Hashtags are an important part of making your content more searchable and visible.
When creating content, include 5-10 hashtags that are relevant to your topic and
content. This will help your content to be discovered as related content.

Express yourself with a name tag

To protect the rights and responsibilities of the content creator, a name tag should be attached to all content. The name tag can include the author's real name and affiliation, or a pen name. In either case, a self-introduction should be included. There is no set format for the self-introduction, but it should provide enough information for readers to get to know the author.

Please refer to the example below and write down the content that best appeals to you. You can send the information and photos to the name tag by e-mail along with the pledge form only once when you write the content for the first time.
