Abstract
Much biomedical research is now undertaken in China. Five large biomedical databases originating from China (CBM, CMCC, CNKI, VIP and WANFANG) are described and their utility and accessibility investigated. These databases index 2500 journals largely not familiar to MEDLINE users. Free access, search features, record selection, ease of downloading and cost of subscription varies considerably between databases. Searches in all databases benefit from the use of simplified Chinese and all provide links to full text articles. Less than 6% of the 2500 journals in the five databases were listed as being indexed for MEDLINE.
