Temporarily unavailable CNKI Resources

Posted on April 14, 2023 @9:08 am by ryan regier

Some CNKI resources may be impacted by a review by the Cybersecurity Administration of China (CAC), and made temporarily unavailable. These include China Doctoral Dissertations, Masters’ Theses, China Statistical Yearbooks and Conference Proceedings. Details of the impact of this review are provided here: Notice of Suspension of Partial Services.

The vast majority of CNKI journal products remain unaffected. Currently, downloads are still possible for China Statistical Yearbooks. Downloads are not available for dissertations and conference proceedings, although this content remains searchable and viewable online.

For more information on accessing alternative Chinese Studies resources, please contact Jing Liu, the Chinese Studies Librarian.
