This document provides an overview of open access and institutional repositories in Japan. It discusses the increasing number of open access papers by Japanese researchers and growth of institutional repositories in Japan supported by the National Institute of Informatics. It also outlines recent momentum and policies toward open science in Japan, including funder and institutional open access policies and guidelines on research integrity and data management. Institutional repositories are playing a role in open science by tackling research data, and library communities are conducting projects related to repository software, metadata standards, and training for research data management.

This study examines the relationship between policy and practice in the world of open education. It draws largely on the findings of other research projects and their openly licensed outputs (e.g. Creative Commons, POERUP) to map open education policies. In this presentation we will take the audience on a 'world tour' of OER policy, highlighting important case studies and scaffolding a participative discussion where members of the OER community can refine their understanding of the key issues.

In this presentation we will take the audience on a 'world tour' of OER policy, highlighting important case studies and scaffolding a participative discussion where members of the OER community can refine their understanding of the key issues. In describing the policy context for OER we provide a short historical review of relevant policy, including the Budapest OA Initiative (2002); the establishment of a Global OER Community (2005); the Cape Town Declaration (2007) and the Paris Declaration (2012). We then go on to look at each continent in turn and talk about the different kinds of policy climates, highlighting local and national case studies which merit particular interest. We pay particular attention to the USA, where there are many interesting policies at institutional, local and state levels (and where original research has been undertaken in collaboration with OER pilot participants).

With the growing importance of evidencing the ‘worth’ of
scholarship, the inexorable increase in metrics associated with
scholarly output, funder requirements for open access, and the
rise of digital scholarship, there has been a recent growth in the
provision of the one-stop support service: the Office for Scholarly
Communication. This session will draw on the experiences of two
UK universities in developing such Offices and the importance
of working with the research support function of the university,
particularly in relation to REF-related activities. The University of
Kent case study explores how the Library and Research Services worked together to build a business case for an OSC and how the proto-office is being developed through joint management. (The second presenter and case study are to be confirmed.)

The adoption of national, regional and institutional policies to promote free access to scientific knowledge have contributed significantly to boosting the growth of open access. In this context, the gold route represents one of the most important paths for the universalization of open access to scientific literature and the solutions employed complement the advances of open access globally with the contribution of the commercial publishers that started to gradually adopt open access solutions, the emergence of open access megajournals and open access repositories of articles published in restricted access journals. In recent years we have also seen the easing of use licenses that contribute to the increase of the number of open access publications, mainly in line with the principles and practices of open science.
Although the increase of open access publications is noticeable, the distribution of these titles among countries is not homogeneous; two contexts stand out. On the one hand, there are countries with an important tradition in commercial publishing, especially in the USA, UK, the Netherlands and Germany, and whose advance toward open access depends on business models that ensure the financial returns to large publishers; and on the other, there are mainly the emerging economies, whose journals do not draw much commercial interest, being mostly published in open access. Between these two environments, there are also national initiatives in developed countries that publish journals outside the commercial circuit of the large publishers.
In this scenario, Latin America is known to be one of the most advanced regions of the world to use the open access publishing model as a strategy to increase the visibility of the scientific output in the countries of the region. This protagonism is largely driven by national and regional initiatives, underlining the pioneering SciELO, which, through its decentralized model, promoted and developed a network of national collections of open access journals, focusing on each countries’ conditions and priorities. In most of these countries the collections reflect the implementation of public policies supporting research infrastructure and its communication, with emphasis on nationally published journals.
Through similar solutions, other countries have also highlighted the importance of nationally published journals for their national research systems, and have been making efforts to develop national open access journals collections (France, Serbia, and Japan, among others) as one of the essential components of their strategies of active participation in the global flow of scientific output and scholarly communication.
In view of the above, this panel will analyze the main characteristics of the most relevant national solutions, advances already achieved, barriers and challenges toward…

Collaboration of Libraries, Archives and Museums: A Perspective from JapanTakashi Koga
A poster for IFLA WLIC 2013 in Singapore (Aug. 2013). Collaboration and/or convergence of libraries, archives and museums is described as three stages: (1) Technical Service Stage, (2) Public Service Stage, (3) Policy and Management Stage. Stage (1) includes a model based on "A Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections" (3rd ed., 2007) by U.S. National Information Standards Organization (NISO).
J-STAGE é uma plataforma de periódicos eletrônicos com 1.600 periódicos e 2.3 milhões de artigos de sociedades acadêmicas japonesas. O sistema tem contribuído para a digitalização de periódicos acadêmicos japoneses desde o seu lançamento em 1999. Sociedades-membro podem usar o J-STAGE gratuitamente com pequenos custos adicionais para o seu orçamento. Consequentemente, mais de 80% dos periódicos estão disponíveis em acesso aberto. As estatísticas de uso mostram que dezenas de milhões de artigos são baixados anualmente, e muitos desses acessos são de fora do Japão. Estatísticas de uso no exterior indicam claramente que a plataforma de e-periódicos cumpriu o objetivo de aumentar a divulgação dos resultados do Japão em P&D em todo o mundo.
J-STAGE is an e-journal platform with 1,600 journals and 2.3 million articles from Japanese academic societies. The system has contributed to the digitization of Japanese academic journals since its launch in 1999. Member societies can use J-STAGE free of charge with little additional costs to their budget. Accordingly, more than 80% of the journals are available as open access. Usage statistics show that tens of millions of articles are downloaded annually, and many of these accesses are from outside Japan. Overseas usage statistics clearly indicate that the e-journal platform has filled the objective of enhancing the dissemination of Japan’s R&D results worldwide.

f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

5. Development of Institutional
Repositories in Japan
• With support from National Institute of Informatics (NII), universities in Japan
have developed institutional repositories.
• Under NII IR program (FY 2004-2012), various collaborative projects between NII
and selected universities were carried out such as: implementation of IR
software; introduction and operation of IR; construction and operation of IR;
innovative research and development; and so on…
*One of those projects is support for the development of IR communities, such
as DRF.
• Standard metadata format “junii2”
http://www.nii.ac.jp/irp/archive/system/junii2.html (The latest version is
available only in Japanese.)
• A portal “JAIRO” to IRs, similar to OAIster, based on IRDB (Institutional
Repositories DataBase)
• NII launched a shared repository service “JAIRO Cloud” as a SaaS in April 2012
toward further expansion.

• A main approach to IR development has started to
change: from grass-roots approach by library
community to top-down approach
• Government OA policy
• MEXT mandated open access to PhD theses through
IRs in March 2013.
• Cabinet Office issued a report in March 2015,
presenting the guiding principles for promotion of
open science in Japan. It requires providing public
access to the results of publicly funded research,
including papers and research data.

• Funder’s OA policy
• JST issued a policy in Apr 2013 which recommends OA
through IR or OA journals on J-Stage (EJ platform by JST).
• JSPS/MEXT KAKENHI (Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research)
• From 2015 it recommends OA for funded research
results.
• Also it has the category of “Grant-in-Aid for Publication
of Scientific Research Results”, promoting the public
dissemination of research results, such as publishing OA
journals by academic societies.

I will give a short talk before discussion for sharing some information about the situation in Japan.
First, I will give an overview of Open Access and Institutional Repositories in Japan.
After that, I will give a brief introduction to the momentum of Open Science in Japan as the background of today’s meeting.
Regarding open access publishing, number of open access papers by Japanese researchers are increasing.
Publishing in open access journals are gradually increasing in Japanese researchers. However, their priority in publishing seems not necessarily to be open access.
Total number of academic societies in Japan is approximately 2,000. ( http://gakkai.jst.go.jp/gakkai/result )
Half of them are using “J-Stage” as their publishing platform. Most articles in J-Stage are open access.
Next is about institutional repositories.
With support from National Institute of Informatics (NII), universities in Japan have developed institutional repositories. Various collaborative projects between NII and selected universities were carried out.
Also we have standard metadata format “junii2”, a portal “JAIRO” to Institutional Repositories, and shared repository service “JAIRO Cloud”.
Now the total number of institutional repositories in Japan reached nearly 600.
Almost half of Japanese universities have their repositories.
This chart shows a breakdown of IR content by resource type. Some characteristics of Institutional Repository’s contents in Japan are that more than half are department bulletin papers deposited by not researchers but librarians, and that journal articles’ deposit rate is generally low. There has been very few green Open Access mandates in Japan for a long time, and academics' awareness of self-archiving seems to be still low.
There are some deposit of data or dataset, but almost is not active research data.
For your interest, by this slide, I tried to show you one aspect of distribution system of academic information produced in Japan.
NII offers some data integration services. In case of Institutional Repository, NII is harvesting metadata of contents deposited to each repository, and running a portal of those contents. In addition, NII manages metadata passing into other services according to its resource type, such as articles, theses, and maybe research data in the future.
We library community have taken a grass-roots approach to Institutional Repository development, and achieved a measure of success, such as quantitative increase of repositories and their contents. For further growth, the main approach to Institutional Repository development has started to change from grass-roots approach to top-down approach. Policy development among various stakeholders is going on.
The latest government Open Access policy is from Cabinet Office. Its report issued in last March presents the guiding principles for promotion of open science in Japan. It requires providing public access to the results of publicly funded research, including papers and research data.
Major funders in Japan are “Japan Science and Technology Agency” (JST) and “Japan Society for the Promotion of Science” (JSPS). As of now both of them have Open Access *recommend* policy. But they will strengthen their policies to adapt to Cabinet Office’s principles I mentioned earlier.
And from last year, institutions are now increasingly adopting their own Open Access policy.
As of now, almost of these policies are covering not research data but papers.
There are three key repository communities or initiatives in Japan: “Digital Repository Federation” (DRF), which is a repository managers’ community; shared repository “JAIRO Cloud” user community; and “Institutional Repositories Promotion Committee” (IRPC), which is a nationwide framework for Institutional Repository issues.
And reorganization of these repository communities or initiatives has just started to adapt to enhanced Open Access and Open Science movement.
From here, I will give a brief introduction to the momentum of Open Science in Japan as the background of today’s meeting.
Tipping point was last March.
Cabinet Office issued a report which provided a strong direction for Open Science in Japan.
In that report, universities and research institutions are expected to formulate rules on the management of research results; and libraries, institutional repositories, data centers and NII are expected to collect research results, promote open access, store and manage shared data.
And responding to that report, Scholarly Information Committee in MEXT has discussed about how to promote openness of academic information. Interim report issued in last September shows specific strategic measures for further promotion of Open Access to articles through Institutional Repositories or Open Access Journals; and measures for (i) acceleration and efficiency of research through utilization of research data; and measures for (ii) preservation of research data and Open Access to it as evidence.
MEXT seems to expect Institutional Repositories as one of the Open Access platforms for research data.
Regarding how researchers feel about sharing research data,
one of survey conducted in 2014 shows an attitude of Japanese researchers to the use and the deposit of research data.
The result shows that a certain number of researchers use research data made by others and deposit their own data.
There is another relevant context about preservation of research data.
For research integrity, research institutions are required to make their researchers to preserve research data for a set period and to disclose the data as needed.
Responding to that guideline from MEXT, Science Council of Japan provided an example for preservation period of research data and other resources supporting articles. Documents, numerical data and images are expected to preserve ten years; and test sample and laboratory equipment are expected to preserve five years.
However, preservation and disclosure from the point of view of this research integrity is not sufficient for entire research data management.
Now is a transition period for library community. While it is still under discussion how positive library community can or should play a role in Research Data Management, we are working some projects listed in this slide.
One of the projects is conducting research data interviews with Japanese researchers, as reported later.
Now I am finishing my talk. I hope we will have a productive discussion today. Thank you very much.
