Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) has signed a Japan Dashboard agreement with CHORUS to monitor public accessibility of content reporting on JST-funded research. The agreement comes after a successful pilot project that began in July 2016.
A ceremony marking this milestone was held at Rockefeller University on September 15, where a fully executed and countersigned version of the agreement and a token of appreciation were presented to Yasushi Ogasaka, Director of Database for Information and Knowledge Infrastructure, JST, on behalf of the CHORUS Board of Directors.
According to Susan King, Executive Director of Rockefeller University Press and Chair of the CHORUS Board of Directors, the Japan Dashboard Service was a first step in the globalisation of the services that CHORUS provides.
The JST agreement is CHORUS’ first international agency agreement. One of the most prolific research environments in the world, Japan ranks fifth in published papers.
