| Abstract | The system of Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan is one of the oldest ones, which is the funding system for researchers belonging to universities and institutes in Japan. The fund was allotted to each researcher by peer review under the application for their own research project. The total number of adoption subjects of Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from 1998 to 2002 have summed up for each university and institute on the individual research fields. The purpose of this report is to be the ranking of adoption subjects as an index of the research activities of each university and institute. This first report is limited on the research fields of law, economics, and literature. For other research fields, the consecutive reports will be continuously published. On the whole, the large-scale national universities which were imperial universities under the old system of higher education were generally in a higher rank every field, but some private universities fought bravely. In each sub-field in details, however, the research characteristics of universities and institutes have been clearly revealed even on the fields of law, economics, and literature. |
