What's the difference between Wanfang database and HowNet?
What is Wanfang Database?

Its development company, Wanfang Data Co., Ltd., is the first joint-stock high-tech enterprise focusing on information services in China.

Wanfang data resources include five subsystems.

Number of years included: The number of years included by each subsystem varies from 1980 to now.
What is the difference between Wanfang Database and HowNet?
Simple comparison:
1. From the perspective of collection, Wip has been the longest and Wanfang has been the shortest, but the current magazine Wanfang has been the best. Many journals of Wip have disappeared in the past two years, especially medical journals.
2. Clarity of documents: Wanfang is the highest, and Wipp is the worst.
3. Ease of use: HowNet is about the same as Wanfang, and Wiap is the worst.
4. Others: Wanfang's periodical browsing function is very good.
Essential comparison:
That is data, because as a database, how is the data resource the most fundamental? In contrast, Wanfang's data resources cover a wider range in this respect, and are stronger than CNKI in terms of keyword distribution and data topics, which cannot be denied. So, in terms of data content, Wanfang has more data resources than CNKI.
In fact, there are many differences between Wanfang Database and CNKI. The convenience of retrieval, the universality of data, and the speed of data collection are quite obvious and also quite different. If we analyze this problem from the perspective of document collection, we will find that Wanfang is better than CNKI.
