    The number of smartphone users is drastically increasing. At the same time, users are assailed with anxiety by using smartphones. While users are unable to recognise what kind of information is being collected and used through their use of smartphones, non-transparent information-handling is being conducted. The unlawful collection of stored, personal information by companies, individuals and entities which is recorded automatically inside a smartphone, is now leading to the unauthorised, third-party transmission of personal data and this is a result of the deliberate misuse of mal-ware applications. Accordingly, this paper introduces the official, overall guide and the contained guidelines, with solutions to the above-mentioned problems with reference to the current Personal Information Protection Law, from the point of view of both sides of the most recent security and privacy issue research and its link to safe and secure smartphone usage.

    In recent years there has been a growing demand for objective article-level assessment of research impact. It has evolved from the trends that social media found its use in research and that the movement toward open access accelerated online dissemination of scholarly information. Researchers shifted their venues of professional communications and research workflow to the Web. Created to meet the needs of the Web Age, “altmetrics” will allow article-level, real-time measures of research impact but not citations, using social media. Being still at an early stage, “altmetrics” have the potential to develop as new complements to traditional metrics through tools development and Twitter-based citation projections. To become popular, these new metrics would need to work together with open access for mutual harmony and benefit. This paper overviews the emergence, present situation, relationship with both social media and open access, and opportunities of “altmetrics”.

    Development of information infrastructure such as an electronic medical record system in medical care has been carried out as a national policy for over ten years in order to facilitate the provision of high-quality medical care to the public; however development of information infrastructure including electronic medical record system is still insufficient at present. In this paper, the results of a 2010 questionnaire survey targeting physicians working in hospitals were analyzed once again in order to estimate the related factors to “the presence or absence of a developed information infrastructure such as an electronic medical record system within the hospital”. The results suggested that differences of the development of information infrastructure within a hospital based on the bed size or ownership of hospital. Currently, the hospitals in which medical care information infrastructure development is progressing are, partially due to expense issues, medium or large-scale hospitals; however, more than 80% of Japanese hospitals are small-scale hospitals. Cost sharing through collaboration between multiple medical institutions within the same region and economic support from local and national government is considered necessary to promote future medical care information infrastructure development within hospitals, although it has been partially started to share the information about academic journal.

    The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) owns several term dictionaries. Among them are the “JST technological term thesaurus” for use in indexing controlled vocabularies and the “Large-scale scientific and technological dictionary”, which contains synonyms and spelling variants. This article reviews the “JST thesaurus map” we developed to visualize dictionary data based on terms’ relationship for finding the most effective search word.
