研究成果の透明性確保とトラッキングのための戦略

This joint JST/CHORUS Forum will explore the evolving open science requirements for researchers in Japan and beyond. Under Japan’s new open science policy, researchers seeking certain national awards must make their publications and research data openly accessible. Globally, funders are implementing similar mandates.

To uphold the integrity of the scholarly record, researchers must confirm adherence to research protocols, provide statements of originality, disclose funding sources and grant details, and document the resources and facilities used. During submission and publication, they must also include links, identifiers, and supporting data to ensure accessibility and transparency.

This forum will discuss researchers’ responsibilities during the publication process and explore strategies to encourage compliance, ensuring accuracy in the scholarly record and enabling digital tracking of research outputs.

今回のJST/CHORUS合同フォーラムでは、日本および世界における、研究者に求められるオープンサイエンスの要件の進化について探ります。

日本の新しいオープンサイエンス政策では、2025年度から新たに公募を行う競争的研究費によって創出された学術論文や根拠データの即時オープン化が義務づけられます。世界的にも、研究成果のオープンアクセス義務化の動きは加速しています。

研究公正の維持のために、研究者には、研究プロトコルの遵守、独創性の表明、資金の詳細の開示や研究に使用された設備などについて明示することが求められています。また、研究成果論文の投稿や出版の際には、研究成果の透明性やアクセス性を確保するために、リンク、PID(永続的識別子)、根拠データの記載が求められています。

本フォーラムでは、国内外から講演者を招き、出版プロセスにおける研究者の責任について議論し、研究成果の透明性の確保と研究成果情報のトラッキング促進に向けた戦略を探ります。

We thank the JOSS 2025 organizers for including this FORUM in their virtual meeting.
