JST and CHORUS Virtual Session - Working together to monitor open science - CHORUS

At the recent Japan Library Fair and Forum, held on November 5th, the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and CHORUS jointly organized a session to review their collaboration and the beginnings of a wider CHORUS supported open-science framework in Japan. At the 2017 Library Fair, Professor Syun Tutiya had moderated a session involving all three partners in the initial CHORUS trial with JST and Chiba University. JST had become a CHORUS funder partner and seven institutions have since joined Chiba University as subscribers. This year, Library Fair delegates watched presentations from JST on the progress of the partnership and on use cases of subscribing institutions in the USA and three institutions in Japan. Each use case illustrated the different ways individual institutions are using the CHORUS dashboard and data service in the management of their research output, open access and open data policies and compliance, and providing resources and access to journal content and datasets for their research communities.
