CHORUS Events
The National Open Science Policy for Japan has been introduced to ensure that research outputs are made publicly accessible, thereby advancing science and technological advancement in line with open science principles. This includes research articles and supporting research data. The goal is to deliver maximum value for society by unlocking innovation, driving collaboration, and enabling the responsible reuse of research. To achieve this, it is essential that all research outputs are FAIR.

Findable – by humans and machines and therefore supported by rich metadata and persistent identifiers (PIDs).

Accessible – and readily available for evaluation, replication, and reuse.

Interoperable – and structured to integrate across disciplines, platforms, and systems.

Reusable – for sharing under clear, trusted licensing to enable responsible, impactful reuse.

At this joint JST/CHORUS Forum our speakers from across different platforms will discuss the opportunities and challenges to ensure the FAIR principles are implemented for all research outputs.
