The National Center for Philosophy and Social Sciences Documentation is a database that focuses on literature in the fields of philosophy and social sciences. The database contains over 17 million entries that are available for online access. They include more than 2,000 academic journals and 10 million academic papers in Chinese language, over 8,000 academic journals and 7 million academic papers in foreign languages, 2,454 titles of rare books, as well as more than 200,000 images. Among the archived material, the oldest papers date back to 1920. To access the database, click ‘國家哲學社會科學文獻中心’ under ‘Databases’ on the library’s homepage, or visit www.ncpssd.org.
