Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project aims at rebuilding the community of sociologists using information technology. One of the pillars of this project is the Bibliography of Japanese Sociology (BJS), a database of bibliographic information on research in Japanese sociology, maintained by the Japan Sociological Society. Another pillar is a BJS-based new social networking service (SNS) on which the researchers interact. The project offers an opportunity to facilitate and restructure academic communication among sociologists. It bridges the old and new styles of academic communication --- textual (journals and books) and electronic.
