Examples of Good Practice for the Interactive Fact Book
Example 1
How to compare the quantity of students in different schools? For example, comparing the quantityof PhD students in the Graduate School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Science.

Step1: Choose “3. Number of Students - II. Graduate” in the table of contents

Step1
Step2: Click the tab “Number of Graduate Schools by
School and Gender” in the page that opens up

Step2

| 1

Step3

Step3: On the left “Program” filter select “Doctoral programs”

Step4

Step4: In the “School” filter select “Graduate School ofScience” and “Graduate School of Engineering”| 2By using the filter feature, you can restrict the table to two selected schools:
the “Graduate School of Science” and the “Graduate School of Engineering”.

| 3

The area of the bars on the table represent thequantity of students from the two schools: You
can see the “Graduate School of Engineering(red)” has more students than the “GraduateSchool of Science (green)”.

When you hover the mouse pointer over the table you can view more detailed information.

Comparing the PDF version and the interactive version:| 4

PDF version:
You must manually search the table for
Graduate School of Science and Graduate
School of Engineering (which is hard work andthe text is small!). The graph for the Graduate
School of Science is on page 76 and theGraduate School of Engineering graph is on
page 77, while at the same time due to bothgraphs having a different vertical axis what
appears to be similar bars actually contains
very different statistics.

Interactive version:
As long as you use the filter feature,
you can very easily find the necessary
information. Also, it is very suitable
for making comparisons as you areable to change the table according tothe requirements.Example 2
How to check how much change the university’s entire revenue has changed since ten years ago?
For example, checking which specific revenue has increased?
| 5

Step1: Select “13. Finance - Ⅰ. Budgeted Income and Expenditure” from the table of contents

Step1

Step2: Click “Income and Expenditure: Breakdown” on the page that opens up

Step2

| 6

Step3

Step3: In the “Year” filter select “2010” and “2019”→

the table will then display the information only for 2010 and 2019

You can see the light blue part, whichshows the greatest increase has been
in income of the university hospital.
| 7

When you hover the mouse pointer over thetable you can view more detailed information.

The university hospital’s income has increased from 30,050 million
yen in 2010 to 46,768 million yen in 2019, an increase of 1.5 times.

Comparing the PDF version and the interactive version:| 8

PDF version:
If you want to compare 2010 and 2019 then itis quite inconvenient as these two years are atopposite ends of the table.
You can see the brown section has someincrease, but it isn’t clear exactly which item’s
revenue it is.
The graph below has a lot of data, it’s easy tobe mistaken.
Interactive version:
When using the interactive version, you canpull the data you need together. All you haveto do is move the mouse and you can see thespecific data, it’s hard to be mistaken.

Example 3
How to know whether our university’s donation income is large or small? For example, to check ouruniversity’s donation income in comparison to other national universities.
| 9

Step 1: choose “13. Finance - Ⅱ. JSPS Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI),
Donation Income and Industry-Academia Collaboration Income” from the contents menu

Step 1

Step 2: Scroll to the far right，choose the “Donation Income and Industry-Academia Collaboration Income” tab

Step 2| 10

Step 3
Step 3: Under the “Category” filter select “Donation income”

Step 4

Step 4: Press “Ctrl” and choose the 7 national universities

The 7 national universities you have chosen will appear highlighted on the table.
You can clearly see our university’s position within the list of 7 national universities.

Move the mouse over the △ and you can see each university’s specific information.

| 11

You can see that within the 7 national universities, Kyoto University and The University of Tokyo
have received the number of donations and the amount of donation income is much more than theother 5 universities.
Within the remaining 5 universities, our university’s number of donations is the most, but at thesame time you can see our donation income amount is relatively small.

Comparing the PDF version and the interactive version:| 12

PDF version:
Although you can see the bubble which represents
every university within the table, you are unable tosee the specific information regarding the numberof donations and the amount of donation income.
Particularly in the bottom left corner, you will
notice there are many universities clustered
together and its very unclear.

Interactive version:
The interactive version can display much
more information in one table, and at thesame time the user can easily see theinformation they need.
