Aims of J-STAGE project• Disseminating Japan’s research results to the world• Encouraging accessibility to Japanese scholarly journals under

oligopolistic situation in international academic resources • Acceleration of better productivity of research activities

Background• In Japan, academic journals are published by societies, which

sometimes have relatively weak financial bases. • A progression of digitization is 62% as to journals published by

academic societies in Japan (2011), this is behind as compared with other countries.

• Competent submissions go overseas as there are not enough leading e-journal titles in Japan.

Challenges for the Japanese Academic Journals Publishing

J-STAGE

Format of Metadata: XML

Formats of body (full-text): XML or PDF

• Optional Services• Alliances with other

literature databases and search engines


9

All journals on J-STAGE are…

1. Peer-reviewed journals published by Japanese noncommercial societies, whose offices are located in Japan (joint publication with foreign publishers may be acceptable).

2. Journals should be published regularly.

3. Journals should accept papers contributed not only by society members but by nonmembers as well.

4. The society should bear the cost of data (full-text PDF or XML, bibliographic XML data, etc.) production and monitor the quality of uploaded data.

About the Japan Link Center (JaLC)

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)

• The JaLC is the only Japanese organization (and the 9th in the world) 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.

Promote the Journals on J-STAGE

• JST is working with the publishing societies to promote the journals.• We are also planning to select well-established leading journals on

J-STAGE and provide intensive support (like journals package promotion) to them for distributing across the globe.

Readers Side:

Publishers Side:

helps researchers find high-visibility articles from 1,600 titles

provides opportunities for potential readers

supports publishers to gain prestige on J-STAGE

gives chances to get prioritized supports for publication from JST
