[Library Network] Notification of National Open Access Policy and Research Data Support Services
Please be informed of the key points of the “Basic Policy for Achieving Immediate Open Access of Scholarly Articles and Other Research Outputs (National OA Basic Policy)” (formulated on February 16, 2024). Please note that the policy applies to all researchers who will receive funding from KAKENHI and other designated research grants that issue calls for proposals in and after FY2025. Kyoto University provides related support to our faculty members, including services to make evidence data for articles open access.
(1) How to Comply with the National OA Basic Policy for Research Grants, such as KAKENHI
In February 2024, the Cabinet Office formulated the Basic Policy for Achieving Immediate Open Access of Scholarly Articles and Other Research Outputs (National OA Basic Policy). To understand how to comply with the policy using support provided at Kyoto University, please refer to the website below for detailed explanation.
〇How to Comply with the National OA Basic Policy for Research Grants, such as KAKENHI
Kyoto University has already established and is operating the necessary infrastructure, KURENAI, to provide a one-stop service for making scholarly articles and their evidence data openly accessible.
(2)KURENAI: Capable of Assigning DOIs to Evidence Data for Articles
With KURENAI operated by the Library Network, you can publish evidence data for scholarly articles assigned with DOIs. By depositing evidence data in KURENAI in advance while still writing your article, you can cite the DOI assigned to the evidence data in the article and then submit it.
Please see the following website that provides how Kyoto University researchers have put this into practice.
〇Publish Research Data (Evidence Data for Articles) with DOIs in KURENAI
(3)RDM Drive: Support Service for Sharing Research Data
The Center for Open Science and Data Management, IIMC is offering a trial service called RDM Drive, which enables researchers to store and share data generated during the research process exclusively among the research team. For more information, please visit the following website.
