Superstar Journal Database http://trs.ssreader.com/Magazine

By using it, you can search for some articles which are not provided at the China Academic Journal site(especially before 1994). The problem of this site is that you should use simplified Chinese characters for searching, and you cannot download or print those articles directly.

National Index to Chinese Newspapers & Periodicals

This database 全国报刊索引数据库 contains the most comprehensive citation data of Chinese newspapers, journals and magazines in humanities, social sciences, and science and technology from 1857 to current. It includes 10 packages divided by years and by two general categories of social sciences and science & technology. Its pre-1949 packages are considered to be especially useful.. The supplier (an affiliate of Shanghai Library) does not allow access to many of its pre-1949 data (until their receipt of the payment for subscription). http://www.cnbksy.com click on 数据库检索or http://www.cnbksy.com/ShanghaiLibrary/pages/jsp/fm/index/index.jsp  click on 用户登录 or < http://www.cnbksy.com/ShanghaiLibrary/IPLoginAction.do > under "Columbia University".
