Japan's first gateway for publishing research rapidly, openly and transparently

This gateway makes it simple for authors affiliated with the University of Tsukuba to publish any research or data they wish to share rapidly, openly and transparently. It covers all fields such as the physical, biological, medical, and social sciences, arts and humanities, in all forms, from traditional research articles to protocols, registered reports, data notes, case studies and much more. For those studying the humanities and social sciences, it is possible to publish not only in English but also in Japanese. Research articles in Japanese will include abstracts and metadata in both Japanese and English, and will be indexed in relevant bibliographic databases.

“Scholarly communication is about to change drastically. In response to the Budapest Open Access Initiative in 2002, various initiatives such as OA2020 and Plan S are underway around the world. These initiatives share academia’s determination to bring scholarly communication back to the hands of the academic community, with which I fully sympathize. Japan has not yet demonstrated its leadership in open access in the world, but we aim to take the lead in exploring the future model of scholarly communication by opening Japan's first gateway in F1000Research, which implements an innovative open access model.” (Kyosuke Nagata, President of the University of Tsukuba)

このゲートウェイにより、筑波大学に所属する研究者は迅速でオープンで透明性の高い方法であらゆる研究やデータを出版することができます。物理学、生物学、医学、社会科学、芸術、人文学など、すべての分野を対象とし、従来の研究論文からプロトコル、登録済報告書、データノート、ケーススタディなど、あらゆる種類の研究成果をカバーしています。人文学や社会科学の研究者は、英語だけでなく日本語で論文等を出版することもできます。日本語の研究論文は、日英両言語で要旨とメタデータを収録し、主要な書誌データベースに掲載されます。

「今、学術情報流通は大きく変わろうとしています。2002年のBudapest Open Access Initiativeを受け、OA2020やPlan Sなど、世界各国で各種の取り組みが進んでいます。こうした動きに通底するのは、学術情報の流通を研究者コミュニティの手に取り戻すというアカデミアの決意であり、私自身もこれを支持します。日本はオープンアクセスに関して世界でリーダーシップを発揮するに至っていませんが、先進的なオープンアクセスモデルを実装するF1000Researchの中に日本初のゲートウェイを開設することにより、学術情報流通の未来像を牽引してゆく所存です。」(永田恭介、筑波大学長)
