Research Data Management

The service is available to faculty members of Nagasaki University.

You can use the university’s storage, cloud storage such as box and Dropbox, and S3-compatible storage.

Please log in by referring to the “GakuNin RDM Startup Manual” in the “How to Use” section.

For the time being, the service is free of charge. We are also arranging for the use of the university’s expanded storage at no cost to you. If there is an uneven usage, we will consider charging beneficiaries separately.

Depending on the storage used, there are restrictions. Please refer to the following URL.

In the future, information will flow to academic information databases such as CiNii, thereby enabling the Nagasaki University Scholarly Publications Repository “NAOSITE” to publish source data. NII is currently under development. (As of 2/10/2025)

If the project is to continue, please delegate the project administrator authority to another faculty member at Nagasaki University. If you wish to continue as a project manager following transfer, please become a new project manager at your new institution and perform data migration. Since there is no migration tool available, please export and import projects on your own.

Open access means that research outputs such as journal articles are made publicly available on the Internet and can be viewed by anyone free of charge. Please refer to the “Open Access Handbook, 2nd Edition” created by the University of Tokyo Library for an easy-to-understand summary of open access.

There are two methods: Green Open Access (self-archiving) and Gold Open Access (open access publishing). In order to promote and strengthen Gold Open Access, Nagasaki University provides support for open access publishing.

Green Open Access: The authors of an academic paper voluntarily make the paper (the completed version) available to anyone for free via the Internet in institutional repositories or on their own websites, etc.

Gold Open Access: Posting of academic papers submitted for open access publication on a website operated directly by the journal’s publishing company.

NAOSITE : Nagasaki University’s Academic Output SITE is a institutional repository

It registers and stores the collections of bulletins, dissertations, publications, technical papers, and presentations, which are made by researchers belonging to the Nagasaki University, and disseminates them widely via the Internet.

The following subsidies are available for new applications in FY2025 (as of October 8, 2024), but subject to additions and changes. For details, please refer to thesubsidy websites, etc.

Predatory journals exploit the open access journal business model whereby authors pay an article processing charge (APC) and anyone can freely read the articles. Predatory journals exploit the psychology of authors who want to publish in a hurry, or trick authors into paying high article processing charges by pretending to be prestigious academic journals.

Submitting an academic paper to a predatory journal not only wastes valuable research funds but also leads to a loss of social reputation for the researcher and their institution. Even if there is no problem with the actual academic paper to be submitted, publishing research results in such a malicious journal can be problematic.

When submitting an academic paper for publication, please carefully consider and confirm that you are submitting to a credible journal.

It is a period of time, determined by a journal/publisher, during which access to an article is not allowed. Once the embargo is over, an article can be published in the Nagasaki University Scholarly Publications Repository “NAOSITE”. The repository sets release dates for articles to be made accessible after the embargo period ends.
