 evidence-based strategic R&D and policy
making
 “the fourth paradigm of science” in an efficient
and effective manner

6.  Science, technology and medical information
(bibliographic, abstract and index) from 1975 to
current
 Having discipline codes and controlled terms with
thesaurus, suited for classification and analysis
 J-STAGE, e-journal platform started in 1999, has
grown to have 1,700 journals

7. Number of researchers
 239,274
(as of Oct. 2014)
Number of research
institutes using data
exchange system
 190
(as of Oct. 2014)

8. Making “Suggestion List” of the researchers accomplishments
from varieties of reliable databases, and researchers just checks it
 Databases such as CiNii, J-GLOBAL, KAKEN are available in
ID algorithm
Suggestion List
 SCOPUS and JST fund will be available soon
 Cooperation with ORCID

9. researchmap ORCID
If a researcher who has ORCID ID in
researchmap, data matched by ORCID ID
is shown.
If a researcher who doesn’t have ORCID
ID in researchmap, data matched by
name is shown.
Data is registered
in researchmap
Feed data from other databases

10.  More and more universities use researchmap as a master
database of researchers information of university.
 The research activities and cv data of researchmap can be
used for application of competitive funds via e-Rad.
 Ordinance for Enforcement of the School Education Act
says that education and research activities in the
universities have to be open to public.
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
(MEXT) says web links to researchmap from the home page of the
university is compliant with the act.

11.  Digitalizing subjects and results of JST fund and
KAKEN fund
(Research programs, Research subjects, Researchers,
Research reports, Accomplishments(article, patent
…) etc.)
 Internal use only
(public web site will be available in FY2015)
Optimizing for analysis with researchers information
and article/patent information

13. Important works to connect data of different categories
 Japan Link Center (JaLC)
 Citing / Cited by
 Two ways of approach
• Identify by algorithm (author identification, bibliographic data
matching）
• Identify by identifiers（ORCID, FundRef, etc.）
12

14. 13
 JaLC is the only Japanese organization authorized by the IDF as
a Registration Agency (RA) for DOI
 Domestic institutions work together to perform central
functions using DOI to promote management and distribution
of digital content.
 Administered jointly by academic institutions in Japan.
MOU on JaLC Project Administration (signed May 28, 2012)
 National Diet Library (NDL)
 Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)
 National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)
 National Institute of Informatics (NII)

15.  Started as a project of Japan Link Center (JaLC)
(2014/10～2015/9)
 8 participant institutions of different discipline
 Assign DOIs to research data to find out issues and
their solutions and utilization of DOIs.
