Many thanks for the reply. I will contact some colleagues at our university library to ask for suggestions about how to check systematically how comprehensively J-Stage and Fatcat cover research publications in Japan. I will also ask if they have any suggestions about other sources from which the IA might gather such data from Japan. Either I or they will contact you by e-mail.
My subsequent vanity searches at J-Stage and Fatcat weren’t very encouraging. Most of my own papers have appeared in journals published by Japanese university departments or academic societies. While PDFs of the papers appear on the websites of the issuing organizations and show up on Google Scholar, they don’t seem to have DOIs or be listed on J-Stage.
I should mention that my research has mostly been on the humanities side of things, while J-Stage is “an electronic journal platform for science and technology information in Japan” [1].
