Brief introduction of hownet:

HowNet, China HowNet, or often called "China Journal Network", is the largest academic paper database and academic electronic resources integrator in China, which contains more than 95% of the officially published Chinese academic resources, which is unmatched by any other database.

HowNet has gathered a large number of academic journals, patents, excellent doctoral and master's dissertations and other resources. It is the most comprehensive online digital resource library in China at present, with a total of more than 200 million articles. It is an unavoidable information retrieval and duplicate checking tool for any paper author, and it is called "China Knowledge Foundation Project".

Extended data:

HowNet's "monopoly of academic resources" and "overpriced" have become the focus of attention and discussion.

HowNet has strong bargaining power because of its strength. As early as 20 16, Peking University Library announced that "the price of database vendors is too high", and the contract renewal negotiation with HowNet is still in progress, and the service may be interrupted. Even Peking University has encountered a "price crisis", but think about the situation in other universities.

China Knowledge Network was established in response to the concept of "National Knowledge Infrastructure" put forward by the World Bank, and it is a part of "China Knowledge Infrastructure Project". Its fundamental purpose is to provide data resources and tools for knowledge production and theoretical innovation, which is very inclusive and public welfare. But now it seems that infrastructure overemphasizes its profitability.

The financial report shows that the gross profit margin of HowNet in 20 17 was 6 1.23%, and that in the first half of 20 18 was 58.83%. Moreover, the gross profit margin of general enterprises can exceed 30%, which is already very large. On the one hand, it is the author and editorial department of the paper who are insensitive to the manuscript fee and copyright fee, and on the other hand, it is the students and schools who are hungry for the completion of the paper. The resulting scissors difference has made HowNet profitable.
