The progress of research is shown by article publications and/or conference presentations. This study aimed to clarify the correlations between the presenting patterns in Japanese literary studies and Japanese linguistics.
The period of investigation was 2005–2014, and 1,958 articles published in nine major journals were surveyed.
The items investigated included the ratio of publications following presentation at a meeting, the names of the conferences at which the presentations were held, and the time lag between the conference and the publication of the article.
The results of the survey showed that 729 articles (37%) were published after conference presentations, out of which 420 (21%) were presented in the same academy’s conferences and journals and 309 (16%) were presented in the conferences and journals of different academies. In conclusion, in some academies in the fields of Japanese literary studies and Japanese linguistics, a significantly higher correlation was found between conference presentations and publication of the respective study.
