Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is desirable that an important English vocabulary required in writing and reading scientific papers should be chosen on the basis of individual organizations such as disciplines and departments because it differs according to disciplines and organizations. Our research proposes an efficient method to make important vocabulary lists separately for universities and departments by making the most of an institutional repository (an online archive system for publications written by members of the institution) which has been developed at leading research institutions such as universities in recent years. Taking up Kyushu University as a subject of investigation, we have made important vocabulary lists for various departments by using the method and affirmed their value.
