Xue Qin published a lead-authored article on officials in the Ministry of Personnel in the late Qing that uses the CGED-Q. The title of the article is 清季改革视阈下吏部官员群体的人事递嬗与结构变迁(1898—1911）——以《缙绅录》数据库为中心 Change and Constancy: The Personnel Evolution and Structural Change of the Ministry of Personnel during the Reform in Qing Dynasty —— Based on China Government Employee Database – Qing (CGED-Q). The article appeared in 社会科学研究 (Social Science Research). Cameron Campbell was the second author.

Here is the Chinese language abstract:

吏部是传统政治体制下的重要行政部门之一。自戊戌变法起至清末新政，官制改革使官员的人事嬗递与群体构成发生了整体性的重大变化。然而，从《缙绅录》记载来看，进士和举人在吏部的任职和仕途变化与官制改革前相比变化较小，这与其他新设部门的官员群体有着明显差异。这一方面体现了清代的官员群体构成和官员迁转秩序具有一定稳定性，改革在较短时间内难以彻底改变固有结构;另一方面也凸显了自上而下的改革没有使清廷走出传统的制度困境。缓滞的改革措施和不尽如民意的改革效果，成为清廷统治陷入困局的重要原因。
