★Invited Papers

Keywords:Science journal, Open access, Open data, Data repository

The trend of open data, which makes scientific information available to the public, is rapidly spreading to the free world, especially in Europe, while colliding with the trend of information protection and information state management. Here, I will discuss the issue of science journals as one of the issues of open science in Japan from the standpoint that open science policy is basically correct and indispensable. Journals have the ability for scientists to post and publish them, and the ability for scientists and the public to get information from the journal. There are three main problems here in Japan.

1. Progress in open access to journals

2. Necessity of data repository and current situation in Japan

3. Journal Issue: Package Price Rising

Here, I would like to comment on the above three points. Both are urgent issues. All of these require strong JPGU leadership and are one of the most important tasks of the next executive committee of JPGU.
