184 IV-5. Research Outcome When users conduct non-proprietary experiments, they are required to submit the SPring-8 Experiment Report to JASRI within 60 days of the completion of their experiments. When the research results obtained through the use of SPring-8 are published in academic journals and other publications, the project leaders are requested to report to JASRI. As of March 2010, the number of registered refereed papers is 5,327, out of which 4,245 papers resulted from the use of public beamlines, 868 papers from that of contract beamlines, 733 papers from that of RIKEN beamlines, and 353 papers from hardware/software R&D. The papers resulting from the use of two or more beamlines are counted at each beamline. Figure 6 shows the annual statistics of refereed papers.

Budget and Personnel Since the start of operation in 1997, SPring-8 had been jointly managed by RIKEN, JAERI (JAEA, as it is known today), and JASRI. Since JAERI withdrew from the management of SPring-8 on September 30, 2005, SPring-8 has been administered by RIKEN and JASRI in a collaborative manner. Figure 7 shows the annual budget allocated to the operation, maintenance, and promotion of the use of SPring-8 from FY1997 to date. The budget for FY2009 is 8.66 billion yen. The total number of staff members of JASRI, RIKEN and XFEL Project is 1,315 as of October 2009, as shown in Fig. 8. 63 60 99 183 371 374 444 585 644 608 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2008 ~ 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 650 626 2007 Number of Publications Year 2009 536 Fig. 6.
