Organization

The operation policy of the JGSS Research Center is discussed and determined by the Steering Committee, in which external researchers constitute a majority of the membership. Members of the Steering Committee represent the different research genres of sociology and social sciences, and present views from various angles. Its operation is subject to an annual evaluation for improvement by an external assessment committee as well as by MEXT.

At the Center, seven internal researchers of the University are dedicated to a research project in conjunction with part-time researchers selected from among applicants following an open call for a joint research project (there are 30 part-time researchers as of December 2008). Graduate students also participate in a joint research project through the "JGSS Researcher Encouraging Program."

The Center carries out its research project in cooperation with several research institutions, and has been on partnership terms with the Institute of Social Science of the University of Tokyo since the launch of the JGSS Research Project until March 2013. In addition, the Center implements East Asian Social Survey jointly with the Survey Research Center of Sungkyunkwan University (Korea), the National Survey Research Center at Renmin University of China and the Institute for Empirical Social Research at X’ian Jiaotong University (China), and the Institute of Sociology of Academia Sinica (Taiwan), while seeking advice and cooperation from NORC at the University of Chicago. Survey data collected by the Center are made public through JGSSDDS (JGSS data download system), ICPSR in the U.S., and GESIS in Germany.
