其他摘要：A scientific journal named Synthesiology (kouseigaku) which includes original papers based on the type 2 basic research was newly published in 2008. In the research paper to be published in Synthesiology, authors are requested to show the clear objective of the research, the scenario which leads to the realization of the objective, and the selection and integration of the elemental technologies according to the scenario. In this paper, we have introduced the philosophy of the journal, the circumstances and purpose of the publication, and the results of the analysis of synthetic methodology revealed in the 70 papers which were published in the journal. A kind of methodology called “technological synthesis” has been found to be important, and a continuous follow-up process called “synthesis for social introduction” is also found to be necessary to introduce the research results to society. Precise analysis and the development of the synthesis, use and role of the research scenario are recognized to be necessary in the near future.
