I apologize cross-posting.

In this January, we, JANUL (Japan Association of National University Libraries), had the survey to the academic societies in Japan, which is as "Publisher copyright policies & self-archiving"of SHERPA/ROMEO.

summary: 710 answers out of the 1730 academic societies in Japan (reply ratio: 41%) 17% of 710 were green or blue, however, 31% of them (17%) require written applications and 35% of them (17%) permit to use publisher PDF.

The research paper (Japanese); http://www.tulips.tsukuba.ac.jp/ir/digcon-enq-form.pdf

Green Societies (.xls raw data) (Japanese) http://www.tulips.tsukuba.ac.jp/ir/digcon-enq0209.xls * We are planning to make a list like the SHERPA/ROMEO list, near the future.

Thank you.
