The Research Organization Registry (ROR) is a registry aiming at identifying research organizations in the world and offering the metadata of those organizations (see https://ror.org/). The ROR 6.0 (December 2020) registers data for about 98,600 organizations, among which 3,711 are ones in Japan. Of these 3,711 organizations, 2,575 were associated with organizations registered in the NISTEP Dictionary of Names of Universities and Public Organizations ver. 2020.1. This table includes the data of the corresponded as well as not-corresponded organizations.

• Usage Manual of the Correspondence Table between the ROR and the NISTEP Dictionary of Names of Universities and Public Organizations

The NISTEP Dictionary of Names of Universities and Public Organizations contains basic information of organizations in Japan that are engaged in R&D. Although the main subjects are higher education institutions (universities, inter-university research institutes, junior colleges, and technical colleges) and public research institutions (e.g., national organizations, national research and development institutes), organizations of local governments, private companies, non-profit organizations and other organizations are also included as much as possible.

The Japanese version of this Dictionary was publicized in December 2012 at first and thereafter has been revised about once a year. This version (ver.2020.1_E) is the first English version derived from the Japanese version “The NISTEP Dictionary of Names of Universities and Public Organizations ver.2020.1.” The Japanese version is available from http://doi.org/10.15108/data_rsorg001_2020_1

In this version in English (ver.2020.1_E), more than 15,000 primary organizations and nearly 4,000 subsidiary organizations are recorded. This dictionary will serve you as a useful information source for grasping and analyzing the actual state of R&D in Japan as well as evaluating its performance at the organization level and at the sector level.
