In 1995, CNKI was established at Tsinghua University.

As the world’s largest provider of Chinese academic information, CNKI has always positioned its corporate development to serve scientific and technological innovation, promote academic dissemination, and assume social responsibility. Rooted in the wisdom of tens of millions of outstanding scholars in China, CNKI provides one-stop digital resources including academic journals, dissertations, e-books, newspapers, and conference papers to individuals and more than 1,000 institutions in over 100 countries and regions outside China, delivering high-quality and reliable knowledge services.

New technologies are continually emerging, and the paradigms of academic research and knowledge dissemination and services are evolving. Leveraging its extensive experience in integrating 300 million Chinese and foreign literature and knowledge, as well as its close academic ties with tens of thousands of research institutions and organizations within China, CNKI strives to create a more comprehensive academic research service system. CNKI aims to offer global users diverse service directions covering AI-generated research tools, open science publishing, knowledge platform construction, research data processing, and research talent management. This is to empower the knowledge infrastructure of different countries and institutions, driving their innovation and development.

 

Cooperation and mutual benefit will bring more development opportunities. CNKI is currently engaged in indexing cooperation with more than 1,000 internationally renowned publishers and research institutions to provide researchers worldwide with one-stop discovery of research literature in different languages. As a member of the global academic research ecosystem, CNKI hopes to collaborate more deeply with industry peers to create business opportunities together.

We firmly believe that knowledge innovation will play a key role in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. With a long-term development vision to establish mechanisms for knowledge sharing and connectivity and to realize a global knowledge innovation community, we hope to contribute to the high-quality development of the global academic research ecosystem.
