International Conference Proceedings

A comprehensive picture of academic discussion at premier international conferences

International Conference Proceedings (CPCD-IFPD) collects proceedings of international conferences, with a focus on conferences hosted or organized by well-known and respected international organizations and academic institutions. These include conferences hosted by organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the international society for optics and photonics, Russian State Specialized Academy of Arts, the International Association of Computer Science and Information Technology, and the International Institute of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering. Offered via the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) platform, CPCD-IFPD includes nearly 1 million papers from nearly 10,000 international conferences on a wide range of subjects, from 2010 to present, with papers from some continuous conferences dating back to 1981. CPCD-IFPD offers robust navigation and search tools, and provides expanded information for each paper, including links to similar documents, documents from related authors and institutions, and documents on related subjects.


International Conference Proceedings 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. To learn more about CRG, please visit the CRG home page.
