CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure; Chinese: 中国知网) is a private-owned publishing company in China since 2014.[1][2] CNKI maintains high annual database subscription fees due to its de facto monopoly status on journal search and collection in China. Due to steep annual subscription fee raises, many elite Chinese universities and research institutions, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University, have stopped subscribing to CNKI.[1][3][4][5]

CNKI owns a system called "China Integrated Knowledge Resources System," including journals, doctoral dissertations, masters' theses, proceedings, newspapers, yearbooks, statistical yearbooks, e-books, patents and standards.[6] In January 2013, CNKI became the second designated DOI agent in mainland China, after the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China under the Ministry of Science and Technology.[7]

In May 2022, the State Administration for Market Regulation of China launched an antitrust investigation into CNKI for anti-competitive practices.[8][9] In June 2022, the Cyberspace Administration of China announced a cybersecurity review on CNKI "to prevent national data security risks, safeguard national security, and protect public interests."[10][11]

History

In August 1997, the China Academic Journals Electronic Publishing House (CAJEPH) was established under the governance of National Press and Publication Administration of China. The operation was run by Tsinghua University.[12]

In June 1998, an earlier version of CNKI, Chinese Academic Journal (CD Edition) was officially released. Later, Tongfang Knowledge Network Technology Co., Ltd (TKNT), CAJEPH and Tsinghua Tongfang Optical Disc Co., Ltd. (TTOD) collaborated to deliver the CNKI project.[citation needed]

In May 2022, the State Administration for Market Regulation of China launched an antitrust investigation into CNKI.[8][9]

In June 2022, the Cyberspace Administration of China announced a cybersecurity review on CNKI.[10][11]

In March 2023, CNKI announced that access for universities and research institutions outside of China will be terminated.[13]
