Academic Reference (AR) is designed to provide a one-stop search and discovery platform of China’s academic development, current research hotspots, and social culture for overseas colleges, universities, research institutions, and enterprises. The platform integrates high-quality English resources published in mainland China, including over 17 million English abstracts from first-class journals, proceedings, doctoral dissertations, and master’s theses, and over 2 million full-text articles. It allows for cross-database searching among articles, English books, yearbooks, and reference books.
Academic Reference is offered through East View’s China Research Gateway. Launched in 2022, China Research Gateway (CRG) transforms library access to Chinese resources by combining multiple databases into one package, supported by an accessible and user-friendly English-language portal.
