It supports the submission of manuscripts, peer‐reviewing, page‐layouting and dissemination of electronic journals published in Japan. [2] The site provides free access to full text electronic journals, proceedings, and reports from various Japanese scientific societies. [3]
J-STAGE includes the Journal@rchive ( ja), an open access digital archive of Japanese journals, established in 2005 by the Government of Japan. [4] [1] By April 2009, some 540 academic organizations made use of the facility. [5] As of February 2012, 1.68 million articles were available for download. [6] To build the archive, in 2006 a robotic book scanner was introduced that could scan 1,200 pages per hour. [7]
