The "Expert" system, an original OUJ subject group credit certification system, was introduced in the 2006 academic year. Objectives of a subject matter in a given field are achieved through the completion of specific university-designated plan, and this confirms the achievement of a systematic study to that end. With the 2007 revision of the School Education Act, the "certified evaluation and accreditation system" regulations for universities also came into effect. Implemented again in the 2008 academic year, the "Expert" system became the OUJ's response to the "certified evaluation and accreditation system".
