T2R2 and STAR Search: Service Discontinuation and Successor Systems Since 2005, T2R2 (the Research Repository and Researcher Profile System) and STAR Search (the Researcher Information Search System) have supported the centralized collection, management, and dissemination of scholarly publications and other research outputs at Science Tokyo. Due to increasing maintenance costs associated with system aging and other factors, these systems will be discontinued as outlined below. Functions such as researcher information search will be provided through successor systems. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your continued use of these systems over the years. For Visitors ■Termination Schedule T2R2 August 20 (Thu), 2026：The search function on the T2R2 homepage will be discontinued.

STRDB is integrated with researchmap and automatically imports research achievement data registered in researchmap for display to both internal and external users. Please keep your researchmap profile and publication records up to date. Full-Text Publication of Research Outputs Full-text files of journal articles and other research outputs will be published through JAIRO Cloud , a platform jointly operated by the National Institute of Informatics (NII) and the Japan Consortium for Open Access Repository (JPCOAR), which will serve as the platform for Science Tokyo's institutional repository. Going forward, full-text files will be made available through this repository system. Detail: Publishing Research Outputs in the Repository Ref.

Suggested Actions Based on Your Current Use of researchmap (Boxnote) Reference: Exporting CSV Files for "Import into researchmap" (Box) Researcher profile information, including educational background and employment history, can also be migrated using the same function. Migration of Full-Text Files For research achievements with publicly available full-text files, the library will migrate the files to the Science Tokyo Repository as outlined below. Doctoral Dissertations: Priority will be given to dissertations published in or after FY2013 (2013 academic year), when online publication became mandatory. Earlier dissertations will be migrated subsequently. Journal Articles and Other Scholarly Works: Among items with publicly available full-text files, migration will be carried out gradually, with priority given to more recently deposited items. Records containing only metadata, as well as records with non-public full-text files, will not be migrated.
