Latest Update : Another day, another update 🙂
CNKI is now downloading PDFs again. Resource Page here:
If linking by title or article level, titles using the Qingdao platform https:chn.oversea.cnki.net are working better than titles using the California platform https:global.cnki.net .
UPDATE – Nov. 15th: Currently, the California server (https://go.openathens.net/redirector/ubc.ca?url=http://global.cnki.net) seems to be working and PDFs can be downloaded, but the Qingdao server (https://go.openathens.net/redirector/ubc.ca?url=http://oversea.cnki.net/) has intermittent errors. Qingdao can still be used for searching & reading online, but no PDF downloads.
The CNKI Databases, covering Chinese journals, theses, dissertations and more, is currently not allowing downloads.
We are working on a solution.
Stay Tuned!
