    Citation data is not only an excellent tool for optimizing journal collection but also powerful tool to find relevant materials that one would not find through traditional control vocabulary searching using descriptors, using subject headings or even free text from the title and the abstract and the full text of journals. In the recent years there are many databases enhanced with cited references being emerged. The author deals with Web of science, Scopus, and Google Scholars among them to evaluate and compare them. As evaluation items he shows size, currency, subject and document type. He discusses weakness in Google Scholar, and strengths in Scopus and Web of Science. Then he discusses software to process such databases enhanced with cited references. The author recognized importance in sorting function and relative cited times, and proposes those to be realized.

    Due to the successive emergence of corporate scandals also in Japan, following in the steps of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) in the U.S. Financial Services Agency is going to establish Japanese version of SOX by amending Securities Exchange Law. The object of this new law is to strengthen the mechanism of internal control in companies, but as a matter of fact, it is the legal system to impose the documentation of business performance, status of internal management, decision-making process at the board of directors in companies, and to require Certified Public Accountants to review it at auditing. This paper will describe on how closely the internal control relates to records management, what kind of requirements would be needed for records management for internal control. Besides, it shall explain it as a representative example of my suggestion about the shift from “Records Management for Inside Control” to “Records Management for Accountability”, that is to say, “Paradigm Shift in Records Management”.
