[Library: for KU members] Briefing Session on Rule Changes for Open Access (JSPS KAKENHI, etc.) (March 10, 2026)

The Kyoto University Library Network will hold a briefing session regarding the "Rule Changes for Open Access (JSPS KAKENHI, etc.)" that will apply from FY2026.

[Mar 12, 2026 Update] Briefing materials and recording are now available on kubar (Japanese only; SPS-ID/ECS-ID required).

Under the "Basic Policy on the Realization of Immediate Open Access to Scholarly Publications (National Policy)", research projects selected for KAKENHI and other public funds from FY2025 onwards will be mandated to provide immediate open access to scholarly papers and their underlying data. Consequently, researchers will be required to take new measures, such as registering their work in KURENAI (Kyoto University Research Information Repository) and managing Article Processing Charges (APC).

In this session, we will provide specific, practical guidance on support measures, including how to provide OA for papers and research data through KURENAI and the APC discount schemes offered by Kyoto University.
We will also discuss international trends in Open Science and the significance of both the National and Kyoto University OA policies.
