    In United Kingdom, after higher education reformation started 1992, research fund system drastically changed from equal supply to competitive method depends on objective assessment. As a result, objective research evaluation and researcher evaluation became recognized and almost all of higher education institutes tried to establish research management and administration structure. Most significant change is how to formulate the research strategy from institutional wide view and organizational assessment beyond individual researcher. This article provides overview of the development process of research administration in UK and describes how institutes managements and researchers accepted and leverage an effective tool in the process of RAE deployment.

    Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI), providing patent data from 48 worldwide patent authorities and 2 literature sources, marked its 50th anniversary in 2013. Seeing a dramatic change in the environment for the supply and use of patent information in the last half-century, DWPI is used today as indexed secondary database for patent research in businesses worldwide. It features both abstracting by subject experts-and that structured abstracting reflecting patent-specific information elements-and added index uniquely classified to suite to technology fields. This article reviews the DWPI abstracts quality evaluation using Japanese patent documents with focus on the structured abstract, and it shows findings from evaluation on three required fields, i.e. Novelty, Advantage, and Use.

    Advances in imaging systems have yielded a flood of images into the research field. To reduce the laborious task of classifying a large number of images, we developed a novel software, CARTA (Clustering-Aided Rapid Training Agent), applicable to bioimage classification that facilitates annotation and selection of features. CARTA comprises an active learning algorithm combined with a genetic algorithm and self-organizing map. The software provides an easy and interactive annotation method and accurate classification. CARTA can be applied to classification of magnetic resonance imaging of cancer cells. Moreover, CARTA can support development of customized features for classification and application of various classification schemes dependent on the user's purpose.

    This report presents the result of macro-analysis of research misconduct in Japan with a view to helping increase awareness of and controlling such unethical behavior. The author carried out the study by collecting open information on cases of scientific fraud uncovered in Japan, including data fabrication, falsification and plagiarism, followed by analysis of the feature of institutions where such fraud took place, and post, age and motive of researchers held accountable for it, to examine what characterizes Japan's research misconduct and what preventive measures are or should be taken.
