Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Scholars and graduate students researching China's economic history and social change
- Archivists needing to retrieve data on China's national conditions in the 1990s
- Policy analysts seeking a macro-data perspective on the phased achievements of reform and opening up
- Collectors of official statistical documents from specific periods
Not a good fit for
- Computer science readers seeking the latest database technology or programming guides
- Analysts needing current real-time statistics for business decisions
Reading tips
- Use it as a historical reference, focusing on its data classification framework and statistical definitions rather than specific figures.
- Read it alongside statistical yearbooks from later years to observe development trajectories and trends in specific fields.
- Read the preface and compilation notes to understand the priorities of national statistical work and the boundaries of data collection in that period, which is essential for using the data correctly.

About the author
The State Planning Commission was a central economic planning agency of the People's Republic of China, responsible for macroeconomic planning and comprehensive balance in national economic and social development. In the early period when computer technology entered China's research and industrial systems, the agency took part in organizing the compilation of technical materials and reference books. The library holds its work A Comprehensive Collection of Chinese Databases, a general computer reference book that mainly compiles information on domestic databases for researchers, teachers, and industry personnel. As the credited name is an institution rather than an individual author, public information on the specific division of compilation work and the book's production process is limited, and the available details come mainly from the work itself. The subject matter reflects the practical need at the time to systematically organize database resources and share information, and the book has some reference value for promoting knowledge of databases and information retrieval in China.
The State Science and Technology Commission is the credited author of the book A Comprehensive Collection of Chinese Databases. Judging from the form of the attribution, this is a collective or institutional byline rather than a personal work. Publicly available information is limited, and the available records contain no further verifiable details about the commission's specific founding background, organizational history, or staffing, so no further inferences should be drawn. As for the book itself, A Comprehensive Collection of Chinese Databases falls under the general computing category, and its content should center on the collection and organization of materials in the database field. It has a clear reference-work character and is suitable for searching and consultation. Reference books compiled collectively in this way usually reflect an institution's capacity for information gathering and knowledge organization, and they offer convenience to learners and practitioners in the relevant field. Owing to limited information, the book's writing style and specific influence require further material before they can be described.
The State Information Center is a collectively attributed institution, and publicly available information about it is limited; its nature and functions can be inferred from the works listed in the database. The institution has long focused on macroeconomic analysis and the organization and development of information resources, with its editorial work concentrated in two areas: annual economic outlooks and information-related reference books. Seven of its works are included in the database. Representative publications include Economic Outlook 1998 (Volume I): China's Economic Outlook, China's Economic Outlook 2001 (Volume I), China's Economic Outlook 2000 (Volume I), China's Economic Outlook 2002 (Macro Volume), and Economic Outlook 1996 (Volume I): China's Economic Outlook. Most of these are annual volumes that systematically review the state and macro trends of China's economy for researchers and decision-makers. Other titles, such as the Internet Economic Information Resources Handbook and A Complete Collection of Chinese Databases, reflect its editorial interest in computing and information resources. Its works are commonly classified under finance and economics and general computing, and its style emphasizes compilation and annual review, with a regular format and a clear orientation toward data and information.
