Researcher Datasets
Top 100
Overview:
Welcome to the “Top 100” section. This purpose of this repository is to annually catalogue the top 100 pieces of published scholarly work, written in Japanese or English and connected to English language learner autonomy and Japan, in an easily usable format for researchers.
About:
- Platform: Data were collected using CiNii Research, an Open Science platform offering searchable bibliographic information for researchers and librarians on research related to, conducted in, or by Japanese institutions, journals, and researchers.
- Search string: The following search string was used: ‘English’ AND ‘autonomous learning’ OR ‘independent learning’ OR ‘learning by oneself ’ OR ‘learner autonomy’ OR ‘learning how to learn’ OR ‘self-access learning’ OR ‘self-directed (language) learning’ OR ‘self-regulated learning’ . The string was adapted from a scoping review of language learner autonomy.
- Format: Datasets are available in Excel format
- Organisation: Datasets are organised in string-relevance order. Information such as work type, author, year, title, journal, peer review status, abstract and DOI is given where available. Datasets cover the previous 20 year period from the search date.
- Data Filtering: Ongoing efforts are being made to flag duplicate entries with yellow highlighting. While most databases indexed on CiNii Research are linked to or based in Japan, data filtering/ cleansing for relevance, practitioner research status, etc. has not been conducted.
