REVIEWER REPORT FOR ISSI ONLY (Written comments for the ISSI Selection Panel)

Title: （略）

Linguistic diversity is an important aspect of cultural diversity and therefore, is very much emphasized by UNESCO in recent years.  ISTIC produced Chinese version of SCI from 1994. It’s a pleasure to learn that NII, Japanese counterpart of ISTIC, started producing CJP since 1995. It will be very instructive to let the world know that there has been one more non-English version of SCI . More of such databases will make the performance evaluation of non-English countries more relevant and practical.

REVIEWER REPORT FOR AUTHOR (comments to be made available to authors)

Title:  (略)

Linguistic diversity is an important aspect of cultural diversity and therefore, is very much emphasized by UNESCO in recent years. Therefore, building of databases similar to SCI but with native language is very important for non-English countries to conduct really objective and relevant performance evaluations. What NII has done is laudable.

The abstract is very short so some important information is lacking. For instance, is the main function of CJP information retrieval (like SCI) or performance evaluation? The difference in purpose would influence the design of the database enormously. Another question: SCI is a commercial database while NII is an institute supported by government. Will the government provide money for the maintenance of CJP or NII will make it a commercial database? I do hope that the author would introduce more background information in the full paper.
