On the Relationship with other Universities through Joint Use and Joint Research

　NINS actively accepts researchers from universities nationwide, and is promoting joint research. Moreover, we provide graduate school education as SOKENDAI ( the Graduate University for Advanced Studies), and regardless of national, private and public universities, we accept graduate students from other universities as "special inter-university researchers" to instruct research. Supporting research activities of researchers belonging to other universities through these systems will result in strengthening the research capacity of universities in Japan.

Visualize the contribution to universities

In order to visualize the contribution to other universities and research institutions, we are analyzing the number of citations of research papers resulting from joint use and joint research. From the results of the collaborative research of NINS and other universities over the past five years, the proportion of articles, which were cited in articles with high impact falling within the top 10% of all research papers was 11.9%.  This ratio is higher than that of all the articles published from Japan (8.3%) adopted in the papers located in the top 10% of the world's papers. It means that we are contributing to a certain extent to the strengthening of the research capacity of universities in Japan.

Target period of investigation at InCites: 2016 - 2020

Achievements of Collaborative Research (2020)

NINS accepts collaborative researchers from national, public, and private universities and research institutions regardless of national, private, and public universities. In particular, researchers from national universities accounted for 90%, and recently, researchers from public, private and overseas universities and research institutions are increasing.

Graduate Education

NINS conducts postgraduate education as the foundation of SOKENDAI ( the Graduate University for Advanced Studies). In addition, as a special inter-university researcher, we accept graduate students from national, public, and private universities nationwide.
