Baidu Scholar (百度学术, xueshu.baidu.com) is one of the largest academic search engines with particular strength in indexing Chinese-language scholarly publications. For researchers working with Chinese academic literature—or conducting bilingual research that spans both English and Chinese sources—Baidu Scholar provides access to content that is often underrepresented in Western databases like Google Scholar, Scopus, or Web of Science.
Baidu Scholar indexes content from major Chinese academic databases including CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), Wanfang Data, VIP/CQVIP, as well as international sources like IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, and arXiv. This makes it a valuable complement to English-centric search tools, particularly for fields where Chinese research output is substantial: materials science, traditional medicine, agricultural science, renewable energy, and AI/ML.
This skill covers effective search strategies on Baidu Scholar, navigating its interface, accessing full-text content, and integrating Chinese-language papers into your broader research workflow.
