Chinese literature

Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, a database widely recognized for indexing high-quality international research. A topic-based search (TS) was applied to article titles, abstracts, and author keywords using the Boolean query TS = (“Chinese literature” OR “Chinese novel”). This search strategy was designed to capture studies addressing the global circulation, translation, reception, and cultural communication of Chinese literary works, including both traditional print literature and the increasingly influential domain of online and web novels.
