Outline of Final Research Achievements

An online questionnaire survey was conducted from November to December 2014, in cooperation with 45 institutions in Japan. As a result, 3,933 valid responses from researchers (faculty and doctoral students) across various fields were collected. Through the analyses from the multiple viewpoints, the survey results showed significant progress in researchers’ use of online resources and obvious changes in their reading-behavior, such as rapid increase in the percentage of reading articles online via PC or mobile devices.
