Given that scholars in the field of the humanities still prefer to read printed materials as their research references rather than relying on the Internet, Kanagawa University 21st Century COE Program laid stress on releasing the progress and results of research studies by means of publications.
The information has been presented through the following six types of publications with a total of forty-seven volumes: research result reports, annual reports, symposium or workshop reports, research resource materials and subsidized publications.
Research Result Report, Annual Report
Symposium/Workshop Report, Research Resource Materials
Newsletter, Subsidized Publication
