The policy of sharing research infrastructure has been introduced in the 6th Basic Plan for Science and Technology and Innovation, as part of the ‘research environment reform'. However, the evidence of research infrastructure has been insufficient in both quality and quantity, and there has not been a situation conducive to obtaining policy feedback based on Evidence-based Policy Making (EBPM). Taking such circumstances into account, the e-CSTI (Evidence data platform constructed by the Council for Science, Technology, and Innovation), built by the Cabinet Office, has been attempting to acquire and analyze evidence related to research infrastructure in recent years.
This paper introduces the new evidence and science, technology, and innovation policies on the research environment for promoting research. Furthermore, it delves into the forefront of research infrastructure and research environment reform.
