The Digital Law Journal, based in Moscow, Russian Federation, was published, and one of the editors was Professor Junzo Iida of the Faculty of Law, who was also involved in writing the article.

In Professor Iida's paper (peer-reviewed), he analyzes the Japanese government's shift to IT and Digital Transformation for administrative systems, etc., through past cases within the Japanese bureaucracy, etc., noting that the shift to Digital Transformation was forced because of the spread of the Novel coronavirus, while facing many challenges since 2001.

Professor Iida said, "When I first started writing this magazine, I imagined that not many readers would be interested in the situation in Japan, and I was not particularly concerned about the number of times the magazine was accessed. However, I was surprised to learn that as of February 16th, 2023, the number of accesses was 11,755 times, the third highest among all the previously published issues of this magazine. This shows that there are a certain number of readers who are interested in the Digital Transformation situation in Japan," he said.
