CNKI Journal Indexing Query (收录查询)

Check which databases index a journal and extract evaluation metrics from its CNKI detail page.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS is either:

  • A journal name (will search first, then navigate to detail)
  • A CNKI journal detail URL (containing navi.cnki.net/knavi/detail)

Steps

1. Navigate to the journal detail page

If URL provided: Navigate directly.

  • Use mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page with the URL.
  • Use mcp__chrome-devtools__wait_for with text ["该刊被以下数据库收录"] and timeout 15000.

If journal name provided: Search first.

  • Navigate to https://navi.cnki.net/knavi
  • Search for the journal (same as cnki-journal-search steps 2-4)
  • Click the first matching journal title link
  • Use mcp__chrome-devtools__list_pages to find and select the new detail tab
  • Wait for the detail page to load

2. Check for captcha

Take snapshot. If "拖动下方拼图完成验证" found, notify user.

3. Extract journal info via JavaScript

Use mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script with this function:

() => {
  const body = document.body.innerText;

  // Journal title
  const titleEl = document.querySelector('h3.titbox, h3.titbox1');
  const titleText = titleEl?.innerText?.trim() || '';
  const titleParts = titleText.split('\n').map(s => s.trim()).filter(Boolean);
  const nameCN = titleParts[0] || '';
  const nameEN = titleParts[1] || '';

  // Indexing tags - extract from text between title and "基本信息"
  const tagText = body.match(/Chinese.*?\n\n([\s\S]*?)\n\n基本信息/)?.[1]
    || body.match(new RegExp(nameCN + '[\\s\\S]*?\\n\\n([\\s\\S]*?)\\n\\n基本信息'))?.[1]
    || '';
  const knownTags = ['北大核心','CSSCI','CSCD','SCI','EI','CAS','JST','WJCI','AMI','Scopus','卓越期刊','网络首发'];
  const indexedIn = knownTags.filter(tag => tagText.includes(tag) || body.includes(tag));

  // Basic info
  const sponsor = body.match(/主办单位[::]\s*(.+?)(?=\n)/)?.[1] || '';
  const frequency = body.match(/出版周期[::]\s*(\S+)/)?.[1] || '';
  const issn = body.match(/ISSN[::]\s*(\S+)/)?.[1] || '';
  const cn = body.match(/CN[::]\s*(\S+)/)?.[1] || '';

  // Publication info
  const collection = body.match(/专辑名称[::]\s*(.+?)(?=\n)/)?.[1] || '';
  const paperCount = body.match(/出版文献量[::]\s*(.+?)(?=\n)/)?.[1] || '';

  // Evaluation info
  const impactComposite = body.match(/复合影响因子[::]\s*([\d.]+)/)?.[1] || '';
  const impactComprehensive = body.match(/综合影响因子[::]\s*([\d.]+)/)?.[1] || '';

  // "该刊被以下数据库收录" section - click "更多介绍" first if needed
  const moreBtn = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a')).find(a => a.innerText?.includes('更多介绍'));
  const hasMoreIntro = !!moreBtn;

  return {
    nameCN,
    nameEN,
    indexedIn,
    sponsor,
    frequency,
    issn,
    cn,
    collection,
    paperCount,
    impactComposite,
    impactComprehensive,
    hasMoreIntro,
    rawTagText: tagText.substring(0, 200)
  };
}

4. Get detailed indexing info (optional)

If the extraction shows hasMoreIntro: true, click the "更多介绍" link to expand detailed indexing information, then take a new snapshot to capture the expanded content.

The expanded section typically lists specific database inclusions with years, such as:

  • 北大核心期刊(2023年版)
  • CSCD中国科学引文数据库来源期刊(2023-2024年度)
  • EI 工程索引(美)

5. Check "统计与评价" tab (for detailed metrics)

If the user wants detailed evaluation data:

  • Find and click the "统计与评价" link/tab in the snapshot
  • Wait for the statistics section to load
  • Extract additional metrics (H-index, citation distribution, etc.)

6. Present results
