Abstract
I analyzed the annual conferences (theme presentations and preregistrants) and the academic journals (prepublication papers) of the Japan Society for Intellectual Production. It was revealed that the scale of the annual conferences is expanding, the contents of the presentations are diversified, the organizations of the presenters and the preregistrants are dispersing from the industry-academia collaboration related departments of national universities to other departments and organizations, the locations of the organizations of the presenters and the preregistrants are dispersed throughout the country, and the contents and the authors of the prepublication papers are diversifying. It was verified that the participants and the contents in the academic activities are diversifying and their scale is expanding, and it can be expected that the society will establish and provide the common platform for the different domains in industry, academia and government. For the continuing development of the society, it is necessary to increase the presentations on the theory of policy issues and the general theory of industry-academia collaboration issues, increase the presenters and the participants from industry and government sectors, and publish more articles of diversified contents and generate the articles trying to systematize the whole of the knowledge regarding industry-academia collaboration based on them.
