Investigating the writing for publication practices of Japan-based authors

在报告期间，我获得了富山大学HREC的伦理批准。在HREC获得批准后，我确保了一位日本参与者的参与，并于2022年11月与他们进行了初步的作者面试。我还确保了研究分析和传播所需的设备，以及安全的数据存储。我参加了在越南同德堂大学举行的国际会议并发表了演讲。在我参加会议期间，我还会见了两位研究参与者，采访他们在越南为出版物写作的经历。我也安排了从2023年4月1日起聘请一名特别研究助理，协助录入必要的出版数据供后期分析。与该调查相关的一份手稿已经发送给同行评议并从同行评议中返回，随后进行了修改并重新提交，以进行第二轮同行评议，截至2023财年年底仍未完成。我安排从FY2023开始使用教学买断制，确保每周有一个完整的工作日用于这个研究项目。

During the reporting period, I secured ethical approval from the University of Toyama’s HREC. Following HREC approval, I secured participation of one Japan-based participant and held an initial author interview with them November 2022. I also secured the necessary equipment for research analysis and dissemination in addition to secure data storage. I attended and presented at an international conference in Vietnam held at Ton Duc Thang University. During my conference visit I also met with two research participants for interviews about their experiences of writing for publication in Vietnam. I also arranged for the employment of a Special Research Assistant from April 1, 2023 to assist with data entry of the necessary publication data for later analysis. One manuscript related to this investigation has been sent to and returned from peer review and was subsequently revised and resubmitted for a second round of peer review that remained pending as of the end of FY2023. I arranged to use the teaching buyout system from FY2023 to secure one full working day per week to dedicate to this research project.
