Abstract - The Information Society 31(1)
David Kurt Herold and Gabriele de Seta
This paper is a report on a research project that collected detailed information on articles, book chapters, books, etc. published by academics on the Chinese Internet between 1990 and early 2013. The findings of the meta-review of twenty years of Chinese Internet research, as gleaned from quantitative and qualitative analysis of the collected body of publications, are presented and discussed in this report. It engages with the conclusions drawn by previous meta-studies, and seeks to shed a critical, self-reflexive light onto the main discursive formations of their research field. The paper concludes that there is still a lot of scope for growth in studies of the Internet in China and lists several of the identified research gaps.
