The official website of the MEXT Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology in Japan (ARIM) publishes information such as shared equipment held by participating institutions and usage reports submitted by users. This page introduces search tools that have been developed to make this publicly available ARIM information easier to find.
- The tools introduced on this page are auxiliary tools intended to make ARIM equipment information and usage reports easier to find.
- They do not replace the official information published by the ARIM official website or by each implementing institution.
- For equipment specifications, availability, fees, and application procedures, please always check the latest official information published by each facility or implementing institution.
- The indexed data may be reflected with some delay, and may contain omissions or inconsistent notation.
[CINTS Trial Service] Find ARIM Equipment & Usage Reports
The following four tools are search tools that CINTS has independently developed, using publicly available ARIM information, and is currently operating on a trial basis.
ARIM Usage Report Search
A tool for searching ARIM usage reports by specifying fiscal year, keywords, technical field, priority technical field, implementing institution, and other conditions.
Find Reports from Equipment
A tool for finding usage reports starting from a facility or piece of equipment, showing the reports in which that equipment was used.
ARIM Shared Equipment Search
A tool for searching ARIM shared equipment by equipment category, host institution, specifications, features, and functions. Some category and function information includes data independently researched and organized by CINTS.
ARIM Usage Report Full-Text Search
A tool for searching terms contained in the body text of usage reports, such as material names, compound names, phenomena, equipment names, and measurement conditions.
[Reference Service] [Beta] Experimental ARIM Data Exploration (DPSearch)
The official ARIM website provides the ARIM Data Portal, which includes a dataset search feature for finding research datasets. DPSearch is an experimental effort by CINTS collaborating staff that takes this concept as a reference and independently extends the scope and methods of search.
It supports cross-searching ARIM-related equipment information, usage reports, and information accompanying research data, and lets you search by keywords, material names, equipment names, and terms found in usage reports, as well as try search based on semantic similarity, searches combining multiple methods, and a map-style display of search results. Basic search functionality is available even with a guest login. If you register an account, you can save data information and candidates found through search and later organize, review, and compare them (however, this save function is not intended for permanent data storage or backup).
DPSearch is not an official service provided by CINTS or ARIM; it is a reference service for exploring search technologies and ways of using data.
