Summary – what’s happening in Japan?
Society journals are active, but passive try to collect high quality articles from members accelerating digitizing of journal archive try to shift from print-based to a site-based licensing try to maintain cost balance, save and development R&D
Publishing aggregators are not competitive, not enough knowledge, technology, cost performance …etc. J-Stage, IPAP
GeNii as a national-made navigator to scholarly contents IR as a portal service for institutions by libraries
27
Summary – so, what is the problem ?
Society journals are positive but pessimistic …if we could collect high quality articles from our society
members, and then our journal should get better circulation, and then the journal brand will get higher
…but, most of our members, especially younger generation focus on brand-journals
…however, we still need to continue, or, we may need to install new journal to appeal and get their attention, so that members will support our society journals,
…we must improve e-journal function, maybe invest more money for R&D, or human resource, to correspond to their needs
..so that our journals will become competitive journals one day.
28
Is the geography of journal publishing therefore shifting?
-yes, we are.
