scholarsworking within China are highly encouraged to publish in journals that are indexed by standardservices like theArtsandHumanitiesCitationIndex. This removes any incentive to provide dataand publish within digital humanities projects whose output is not part of a standard recognizedindex. Database projects are not well suited to indexing services, because the metadata used byan index to determine frequency of publication and to quantify the output of the project are diffi-cult to measure in a constantly active database.
