SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researchers evaluating Chinese journals often need to verify which databases index a journal (北大核心, CSSCI, CSCD, SCI, EI) and check its impact factors, but CNKI detail pages require manual navigation and careful reading of scattered page sections.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Indexing Detection: Reads the curated journalType tags on a CNKI journal detail page to identify inclusions such as 北大核心, CSSCI, CSCD, SCI, EI, CAS, JST, WJCI, AMI, and Scopus without false positives from body text.
  • Metric Extraction: Pulls ISSN, CN number, sponsor, publication frequency, collection, paper count, and both composite and comprehensive impact factors via a JavaScript evaluation in the managed browser.
  • Use Case: Ask whether a target journal is indexed in EI and what its 2025 composite impact factor is; the skill navigates to the CNKI detail page, expands the indexing section, and returns a formatted summary.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if a journal is indexed in CSSCI or EI on CNKI?

Provide the journal name or its CNKI detail URL, and the skill navigates to the navi.cnki.net detail page and reads the journalType tag elements. It matches known tags like 北大核心, CSSCI, CSCD, SCI, and EI, then reports which databases include the journal.

How to get a journal's impact factor from CNKI?

The skill extracts both the composite impact factor (复合影响因子) and comprehensive impact factor (综合影响因子) from the evaluation section of the CNKI journal detail page using a JavaScript evaluation in the managed browser.

Can I query CNKI journal indexing by name instead of URL?

Yes. When given a journal name, the skill searches on navi.cnki.net first, clicks the first matching journal link, switches to the new detail tab, and then extracts the indexing and evaluation data.

What happens when CNKI shows a captcha during the query?

The skill takes a page snapshot and checks for the slider verification text 拖动下方拼图完成验证. If a captcha is detected, it notifies the user so the puzzle can be completed manually before extraction continues.

Why might indexing detection report wrong databases for a journal?

Matching tags against the whole page body causes false positives, such as EI appearing inside unrelated words. The skill avoids this by reading only the curated p.journalType tag elements on the detail page.
