Hong Kong and Macau Index to Chinese Periodicals

Index to Chinese Periodicals of Hong Kong (HKInChiP) was developed and made available for public use by the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library (CUHK Library) in 1999. The University of Macau Library has joined this project and started to provide data on Chinese journals published in Macau since December 2005. Subsequently, the two libraries collaborated to launch the “Hong Kong Macau Periodicals Network” on 4 September 2006 and the platform was renamed as the Hong Kong and Macau Index to Chinese Periodicals (Index) in July 2024.

The Index primarily includes Chinese and bilingual journals published in Hong Kong and Macau, with a focus on humanities and social sciences. Most of the journals are indexed from 1980 onwards. The earliest periodical featured in the Index is Chinese Serial (published on 1 August 1853) which is the first Chinese journal in Hong Kong.

In addition to various basic search functions, the Index also provides links to full-text images of certain articles for teaching and academic research purposes.

Please visit the Macau Periodical Index established by the University of Macau Library for more information about periodicals published in Macau. Moreover, full text images or index of local literary periodicals can be accessed through the Hong Kong Literature Database established by the CUHK Library.
