In February 2025, the "KURENAI Deposit System " was newly reborn

https://openaccess.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/researcher

We have significantly renewed the KURENAI Deposit System to make it easier to register and apply for the publication of articles and research data in KURENAI, the Kyoto University Research Information Repository.
The UI/UX has been completely redesigned to make the public access application process easier to understand.

When Kyoto University researchers log in to the KURENAI Deposit System with their SPS-ID, a list of their articles, automatically retrieved from Web of Science and researchmap, is displayed.
By simply attaching the article file (author's final manuscript) and supporting data to the article information, they can register and apply for publication in KURENAI in a single step.
This also enables one-stop compliance with the National OA Basic Polic, "Basic Policy on Promoting Open Access to Publicly Funded Scholarly Publications and Scientific Data."

New features have also been added, including the ability to submit research data for publication and DOI assignment from within the KURENAI Deposit System, whereas previously this could only be done by email.

Anyone with an SPS-ID can use the KURENAI Deposit System. For details on how to use it, please refer to the manual here.
