Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI, Chinese: 中文社会科学引文索引) is a citation index program in China. It was developed by Nanjing University since 1997 and was established in 2000. It selects source journals from more than 2700 Chinese academic journals of social sciences. Now many leading universities and institutes use CSSCI as a basis for the evaluation of academic achievements.

“The social forces that operate on a family during the daughter’s formative years continue to shape her experience. Thus the families, schools, and jobs that involve poor women are likely to be very hierarchically arranged, demanding conformity, passivity, and obedience—all unsupportive of continued intellectual growth.”
—Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
“The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“Exile as a mode of genius no longer exists; in place of Joyce we have the fragments of work appearing in Index on Censorship.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
