The III publishes a number of periodicals. At the time of the merger between the III and ISICS, the publications of the two institutions were consolidated and placed under a new editorial/publishing structure. The main publications are the Journal of Information Studies, Newsletter, Annual Report, and the III Book Series. Each publication has its own function while also being linked to the others as elements in the unified publishing activity of the III.

This journal contains mostly theoretical and critical research papers written by faculty members of the III and students enrolled in the GSII. Most of these are in Japanese (although English abstracts are provided). Reports on symposia and other events taking place at the III are also published in this journal.

This pamphlet is a concise introduction to the aims, organizational structure, and activities of the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies (III) and the Graduate School in Interdisciplinary Information Studies (GSII).

This quarterly publication contains information and news articles about activities happening at the III and GSII. Its purpose is to publicize these activities to a wider audience. Diverse contents include faculty interviews, news on research activities, reports of symposia, announcements of upcoming events and publications, and news about prizes received.

The “III IR x IR x IR” of the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies and Interdisciplinary Initiative in Information Studies, like the similarly named “IR x IR x IR” of the University of Tokyo, aims to organically link information on research, education, and social collaboration with financial information and to introduce all the ways we are collaborating to co-create a future society, especially show-casing industry-academia collaborations advanced by our faculty members.
