On Monday 5th June 2017, we released ‘KAKEN: Researcher Search’ on trial.
The database for ‘Researcher Search’ was created by primarily using the data registered on Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKEN) Database and a part of the data registered on Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB).
It automatically integrates the information on researchers and research products extracted from ‘Researcher Numbers’, DOIs, etc., stored on these databases.
Using this database, you can search for information such as affiliations, research fields, keywords, and research projects by researchers.
Main Features of ‘Researcher Search’
- It uses the same interface as ‘KAKEN: Research Project Search’ and is easy to use.
