The Research Centre for Information and Statistics of Social Science (RCISSS)
attached to the Institute of Economic Research (IER) was established to gather
and manage social sciences-related information and statistics and, by making
these widely available to researchers, to contribute to the advancement of
research in the humanities and social sciences. Starting out as the
Documentation Centre for the Japanese Economy attached to the Institute of
Economic Research, which was set up in 1964 as a national resource center
for the humanities and social sciences, it was subsequently expanded and
reorganized, becoming the Japanese Economic Statistics and Information
Centre, before taking its current name in 2002.
At present, there are five full-time academic staff (three professors, one
associate professor, and one research associate) that are attached to the
RCISSS and conduct research. Reflecting the division of the Institute itself into
five major research departments (as well as a department for visiting
researchers), the research and other activities of the RCISSS are organized
into five corresponding units, and the academic staff of the RCISSS play an
integral role in the large-scale research projects currently being undertaken
by the Institute. |
