    Statistics on publication and citation of papers written by Japanese university researchers are processed and analyzed using ISI's National Citation Report for Japan, a statistical database on citations for scientific papers. Number of papers from Japan in 1981 through June 1999 are 853,323, and 58,472 of them are with authors from universities. National universities hold more than 70% share both in publications and citations, and get a high rate of citations per paper. The statistics on individual universities and institutes, and a list of highly cited papers are also shown with analyses on them. Discussion on problems and importance of bibliometric studies are given.

    By using the journal citation mapping that was developed by F. Narin in 1972, 10 fields of life sciences that were multidisciplinary sciences, biology, physiology, biochemistry & molecularbiology, immunology, oncology, general & internal medicine, cardiac & cardiovascular systems, neurosciences, and psychiatry were analyzed. Based on the 1997 Journal Citation Reports (Philadelphia, ISI), we tried to illustrate maps of the two-step model, in which both the first and second most frequently cited journals were specified. Core journals in the 10 fields were clearly shown and sub-groups in each field also identified by this method. The journal citation map is valuable tool for analyzing the scientific communication and is useful tool for evaluating journal collection.

    As dealing with various fields of information, patent information seems just one of them to librarians who is familiar with reference services, and specialists who specialize in information analysis. However, especially in the scientific technology field, the patent document has highly importance, though it seems"totally parted" as patent searchers in intellectual property department deal with the patent information, and specialists in information deal with general technology information. When the communication between intellectual property department and information department is smooth, and the patent searchers and the specialists in information cooperate each other, there will be no problem. However, the reality is not always such an ideal. The patent searchers are passive in dealing with the general scientific technology information and the specialists in information are unacquainted with the patent information. It is surely necessary in cooperating these two kinds of specialists for numerous situations, though the cooperation between two are inactive. For the specialists in information, patent information is hard to deal with. For the reasons, besides legal aspects, peculiar patent classification and complicated international correspondency are included in the patent information. Considering the importance of world-wide growing intellectual property, the patent information should not be too difficult for the specialists in information. In this essay, the difficulty in the circumstances of patent information is analyzed, considering the situation of the recent field of intellectual propert.

    In November, 1999, twelve leading publishers in the U. S. and Europe agreed to build a system where users of electronic journals would be able to navigate articles in participating journals by clicking references. Based on the agreement, a system named CrossRef was developed. As of June, 2000, 36 publishers including major academic societies such as the American Chemical Society have joined CrossRef. Already 2,700 journals from 10 publishers are thus linkable. CrossRef uses DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for article URLs. Its mechanism, fees, impact on traditional information industry and issues are discussed.

    Specialized knowledge and certain standard devices were necessary to the construction and application of database. However, the construction of database became possible in a private level by the low price and a high-efficiency hardware and a high function of the software in a personal computer. Not only a database function but also functions needed for the preparation of the input-output interface and of the application are installed to software. Furthermore the user support function is installed and everyone can construct a common database.
