# 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:

```javascript
() => {
  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));
