[What is Open Access?]

Open access, an increasingly popular global movement, ensures that academic research is freely available to the public. In Japan, for the research outputs funded by public funds (e.g., KAKENHI), which start the applications since FY2025, the National Policy on Promoting Open Access to Publicly Funded Scholarly Publications and Scientific Data has been developed by the Cabinet Office’s Integrated Innovation Strategy Promotion Council.
In 2015, Kyoto University developed the Kyoto University Open Access Policy, the university`s first open access policy in Japan, and supports researchers via KURENAI.
