East View releases complete Century Journals Project

New full-text database archive is the most comprehensive digital collection ever of 20th Century Chinese journals

For Immediate Release
May 15, 2007

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - East View Information Services today announced the final and complete release of Century Journals Project (CJP), the single largest retrospective collection of journals from China.  CJP presents more than 3,500 full-text Chinese journals from 1906 through 1993.

The breadth of subjects covered by the journal titles of CJP documents the economic, political, scientific, philosophical and cultural development of modern China. The Century Journals Project, hosted in North America by East View, provides on-line access to the often hidden, always dynamic, life and times of one of the world’s largest populations.

“In CJP researchers will be able to trace a cross-section of respected Chinese scholarship through the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Cultural Revolution, economic reform and the rapid ascent of China to the position it now occupies in the world,” said East View’s Online Publishing Director, Robert E. Lee.

The collection is a major release of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), produced by TTKN, the Tsinghua Tongfang Knowledge Network Technology Co. of Beijing. TTKN is represented in North America exclusively by East View Information Services at china.eastview.com.

“This brings us closer to our goal of being the leading provider of global information services to researchers,” said Kent D. Lee, President and CEO of Minneapolis, Minnesota based East View Information Services.  “The Century Journals Project is the foremost online collection of Chinese knowledge from the 20th Century.”

CNKI’s online search interface is a step forward in technology.  Offering robust search tools and well organized citations, the interface allows many types of cross reference between databases and journals in English as well as Chinese.
