Dataset "Research on Central Asia in the People's Republic of China 1992-2022"

The dataset contains details on all publications on Central Asia published in the People's Republic of China between 1992 and 2022. The data was manually scraped from the CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, 中国知网). For our search, we used the keywords: “Central Asia” matched with keywords for each of the five Central Asian countries. We then collated the output in an excel file paired with the following variables: author, title, type of publication, journal/publisher, year, abstract, source and keywords. The data was scraped in Mandarin and later automatically translated into English. The present version of the database contains 10,563 publications.To cite:<br><br>Maracchione, Frank and Jardine, Bradley. (2024).
