zotero-external-search-import

Discover and import papers by querying OpenAlex via topic search or DOI resolution, normalizing the scholarly records into Zotero schema, and orchestrating batched imports through a library bridge handoff.

OpenAlex-first discovery is the process of querying OpenAlex for scholarly records, normalizing fields into Zotero import schema, and deduplicating results before orchestrating Zotero imports to build clean bibliography pipelines.

Deduplication for Zotero imports works by removing duplicate records matched by DOI or title and year, then ranking the remaining results by relevance and data completeness before the bridge handoff.

You can resolve DOIs and normalize metadata by mapping OpenAlex records into the Zotero import schema, capturing fields like title, authors, journal, year, abstract, and URL before executing the import.

Batched imports and per-item status reporting require a bridge handoff contract with downstream Zotero library bridge skills to execute the orchestrated import of OpenAlex records.

OpenAlex-first Zotero imports are limited to normalized fields within the Zotero import schema and require deduplication by DOI or title/year to manage duplicates before the bridge handoff.
