FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically download scientific papers to Zotero using Kyoto University credentials?▼

You can automatically download scientific papers to Zotero by using this Skill to leverage Kyoto University credentials, prioritizing Open Access links via Unpaywall and handling paywalled content through Kyoto University's EZproxy.

Can I use Zotero Connector and Playwright to automate saving paywalled papers through EZproxy?▼

Yes, automating paywalled paper downloads through EZproxy requires both the Zotero Connector for direct saving and Playwright for browser automation to navigate Kyoto University's authentication barriers.

Do I need a Kyoto University account to download open access papers automatically?▼

No, downloading Open Access papers does not require a Kyoto University account, as the Skill prioritizes Unpaywall to retrieve freely available versions before attempting to use Kyoto University EZproxy credentials for paywalled content.

What is the best way to import a list of papers with DOIs into Zotero without manual data entry?▼

The best way to import a list of papers into Zotero is to provide their DOIs to this Skill, which automates the browser-based download and Zotero import process to eliminate manual data entry.

Why does my automated paper download fail when accessing paywalled scientific research?▼

Automated paper downloads fail when accessing paywalled scientific research if Kyoto University EZproxy credentials are invalid or not configured, preventing Playwright from bypassing the publisher's authentication barrier.

Does this paper download method work for any academic database or only Kyoto University EZproxy?▼

This paper download method specifically works for Kyoto University EZproxy and Unpaywall Open Access links, meaning it cannot bypass paywalls for users without valid Kyoto University credentials.
