Taking into account the rapid progress of IT, we publish ONLINE Mathematica Japonica (M.J.) as well as in print from January 2001.In connection with this, and as the publication of SCM has been already dual, online and in print, we unify M.J. and SCM and publish a journal named Scientiae Mathematicae Japonicae (SCMJ) as M.J./SCM 21^st Century New Series.
  For newly accepted papers, they will be published as follows in the interim of 2000.
  1)  In 2000, M.J. and SCM will be published as scheduled, total 1000 pages for M.J. (print) and 500 pages for SCM (online and print).As of April 20, 2000, we have enough backlog for M.J., however, there is room of about 250 pages in SCM, their papers will be published in SCM in 2000 (maximum 250 pages).
  2)  After 500 pages of SCM (total) are published on the Web this year, we will publish SCMJ online inadvance of the publication of the printed edition in 2001.The first printed edition of SCMJ will be published in January 2001 as Vol.53, No.1, Whole number 205.The annual pages of SCMJ will be 1200.
