Abstract

　This paper introduces Kyoto University Library Network’s activities for supporting research data management and publication including formulating a policy and guidelines as well as publication of research data at the Kyoto University Research Information Repository (KURENAI). In recent years,Kyoto University formulated “the Kyoto University Policy on Research Data Management and Sharing”and “the Guidelines for Formulation of Implementation Policy on Research Data Management and Sharing at Faculties and Departments of Kyoto University”. We show how the policy and the guidelines have been adopted and our current efforts. In terms of the support of research data publication, we present the number of research data publications at KURENAI and their breakdown, as well as report current challenges such as file size and sharing with limited users.
