China HowNet is a search engine, and China HowNet (CNKI) is a platform for searching journals, doctoral dissertations, master dissertations, conference papers, newspapers, reference books, yearbooks, patents, standards, Chinese studies and overseas literature resources, including the search of Chinese core journals, but not all Chinese core journals.

The comprehensive database of China HowNet includes the full-text database of China journals and the doctoral dissertation database of China. Each database provides three retrieval functions: primary retrieval, advanced retrieval and professional retrieval. Advanced retrieval function is the most commonly used. Among them, the full-text database of China journals comes from the full-text of 6 100 core journals and professional journals published publicly in China.

Chinese core journals are just one of the sources of journals. It includes Chinese core, so what can be retrieved is not necessarily Chinese core, but Chinese core can generally be retrieved on China Knowledge Network (CNKI). Search can only show that it has been included in HowNet, but the core still depends on the level of this publication.

academic journals

The "Evaluation and Analysis Database of the Impact of Academic Journals" provides journals with the distribution of disciplines, the distribution of publishing delay and the analysis of content quality, supports the analysis of authors and reviewers' work performance, and helps the editorial department to scientifically adjust the direction of running journals and publishing strategies.

The Analysis Database of Evaluation Indicators of Academic Journals provides decision-making reference for periodical publishing management departments and organizers to analyze and evaluate the layout of academic journals' disciplines and research levels, the characteristics and quality of journals' contents, and the development trends of various journals.

evaluating indicator

Experts believe that China has always lacked objective, transparent and standardized evaluation indicators for academic journals. Simply focusing on the number of published papers and the reputation of journals often leads to the phenomenon of "publishing papers by numbers" and "publishing papers by numbers". The Annual Report on Impact Factors of China Academic Journals is expected to reverse this situation.
