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.
