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.
Famous quotes containing the words social, sciences and/or index:
“Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“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)
