Hideaki Takeda
(National Institute of Informatics)

Started career as a staff of development of an e-learning service. Changed jobs to Japan Science and Technology corporation in 2000. Now in charge of J-STAGE and J-STAGE Data at Department for Information Infrastructure in Japan Science and Technology Agency.

Dr. Yusuke Komiyama is an assistant professor and works at Content Science Research Division, National Institute of Informatics. In March 2014, he completed the doctoral course at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences. He was engaged in bioinformatics research as a JSPS Research Fellow (DC2). In April 2014, he was involved in supercomputer operation and life science database development as a project researcher at the Human Genome Center, The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo. Current position since April 2016. He started to works at the Research Center for Open Science and Data Platform in NII in April 2017, engaged in research and development, operation, and international collaboration of the research data management service GakuNin RDM.

Librarian (Library of the Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies, University of Zurich), and a member of JDARN.

Librarian of Hokkaido University Library since 2016. A member of the research data working group of JPCOAR since 2020. In 2019, she was sent to the National Institute of Informatics (NII) for on-the-job training on research data management and publishing. From 2019 to the present, she has been involved in the management of institutional repository at Hokkaido University.

The lecturer is a working member of the 2020 SPARC Japan Seminar Planning Team, and a staff member at the Kyoto University Library. Since April 2020, she has been in charge of the Secretariat of the Japan Consortium for Open Access Repository (JPCOAR), under the Library Liaison Cooperation Office of the NII’s Academic Infrastructure Division. She is also a member of JPCOAR Research Data Working Group.

Researcher, National Bioscience Database Center, Japan Science and Technology Agency. Shigeru Yatsuzuka joined National Bioscience Database Center in 2015 after working as a system engineer. He is in charge of a life science data repository. He is also a representative of Japan Data Repository Network (JDARN) affiliated with Research Data Utilization Forum (RDUF), and a member of 2020 SPARC Japan Seminar Working Group.

A Member of the SPARC Japan Seminar 2020 planning working group. He completed the master's program at the Graduate School of Arts and Letters, Tohoku University. After working at Institute of Social Science, the University of Tokyo and Center for Statistics and Information, Rikkyo University, he has been in his current position since 2019.In his current position, he is involved in the project of data infrastructure for the humanities and social sciences, and research the provision of research data through restricted access.

Publications and Documentation Section, Information and Public Relations Office, Research Planning and Partnership Division, Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences. Takanori Hayashi joined Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences in 2014. He received his Ph.D. degree in informatics from the University of Tsukuba in 2016. He is in charge of library and web service operations including collect and provider of research information, and support developing databases.

The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) started its pilot operation of J-STAGE Data, a data repository for J-STAGE users, in March 2020, and is planning to move to its full-scale operation in March 2021.The lecturer will introduce the overview of J-STAGE Dada service and the current status of its pilot operation.

If researchers manage their research data independently, there is a risk that valuable research data may be lost or missing in the laboratory or that classified research data may be lost to the outside and leak out. Also, if the institution to which the researcher belongs does not have a well-organized research data management system, it may become a hotbed of research misconduct. Recently, an increasing number of competitively granted research projects require research data management based on a data management plan. The National Institute of Informatics (NII) has started the full-scale operation of GakuNin RDM, a research data management service, for academic institutions in Japan from 2021. In this presentation, I will discuss realistic best practices based on actual research data management cases from the viewpoint of a provider of a nationwide research data management service.

When you are starting the RDM service, it is very helpful to refer to the examples from other institutions. In this talk I will look at the case study of the DDC’s “RDM strategy: moving from plans to action" and focus on the example of the University of Edinburgh. I will also introduce the self-assessment tool provided by SparcEurope (based on the Research Infrastructure Self Evaluation (RISE) framework), which should be useful for the further development of RDM services.

Support system for research data publishing is not well developed yet in universities in Japan. For a development support system that reflects with intention of researchers, accumulation of practical examples of research data publishing and analyzing them will be necessary, however, only a few examples of universities in Japan are presented until now. In this presentation, I would like to introduce the background of the researcher's request and practice of institutional repository section for 14 research data publishing cases whose data are published on the repository of Hokkaido University (HUSCAP) from 2017 to 2020. In addition, I would like to find out points that are insufficient yet and to be improved in the current management of institutional repository by considering these cases based on discussions so far about research data publishing.

In October 2020, the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) published the "COAR Community Framework for Good Practices in Repositories". JPCOAR created a Japanese translation of this framework and published it on its website in December 2020. In this presentation, the lecturer will explain the outline of this framework and introduce the "Survey on the status of RDM efforts at Japanese universities and research institutions", which was conducted in collaboration with the RDM Case Study Project of the JPCOAR Research Data Working Group and the AXIS-RDM Subcommittee in 2020.
