- About the ReaD Survey -
Overview of the Survey
ReaD conducts surveys (ReaD Surveys) every year to encourage the updating of data.
There are two ways to update data, which are shown below.
1. Online update
Data is updated from an online form using an ID and password.
Researchers themselves, can update researcher information, and also institution
administrators can update institute information, subject information and resource
information.
2. Data Exchanges
This method involves exporting the data required by ReaD from researcher lists
held by research institutions, and registering information for the institution
in a batch. Please contact the data exchange staff at the ReaD Office for
further details.
