Dear SUGITA Shigeki
Thank you very much for the link to this presentation. I read it with great
interest, and you must be pleased with having 760,000 research papers in
repositories.
May I please ask a question which is not answered in the presentation/paper?
How much of the research output covered by Japanese university researchers
is captured each year? Or to make my query more specific, how many papers
were published by Japanese university authors in 2010, and how many of these
are in one of the hita-hita repositories? If 2010 is too recent (and I don't
think it should be), please feel free to choose any 12-month period in the
recent past.
Thank you in advance for your response. It would be much appreciated.

Subject: hita-hita -- Institutional OA Advocacy in Japan
Dear colleagues,
DRF is pleased to announce the release of a new report.
"hita-hita -- Institutional OA Advocacy in Japan"
http://drf.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/drf/index.php?plugin=attach&refer=Digital%20Rep
ository%20Federation%20%28in%20English%29&openfile=hitahita2011.pdf
The term "hita-hita" was employed to signify something that penetrates
gently and smoothly. As of 2011, a total of 760,000 research papers
are accessible through IRs across Japan. Open Access (OA) is not
politically forced at state level or institution level. Instead, we
have built repository manager-level lateral solidarity to share
experience, exchange various creative ideas, add improvements and
disseminate our ideas, thereby highly developing respective IRs.
This report introduces large and small ideas that have enhanced
penetration of the OA movement and developed IRs in Japan, and it also
outlines the activities of DRF, which has supported such ideas.
