China Academic Journals (CAJ) provides full-text electronic versions of selected articles from over 600 Chinese academic periodicals from 1915 to the current issue.

Recently added to our CAJ subscription (covering journals published from 1994-current) is the Century Journals Project (CJP), representing the single largest retrospective digital collection of 20th century Chinese journals. The CJP journals have content from 1915 through 1993.

Our subscription to CAJ/CJP is for Series F which includes literature, history and philosophy. All journals are fully searchable.
