Steps

1. Navigate to journal detail page

If not already on a journal detail page (navi.cnki.net/knavi/detail):

• Use cnki-journal-search to find the journal
• Use mcp__chrome-devtools__list_pages + mcp__chrome-devtools__select_page to switch to the journal detail tab (opens in new tab)

2. Select issue + extract papers (single async evaluate_script)

Replace YEAR and ISSUE with actual values (e.g., "2025", "No.01"). The "刊期浏览" tab is the default active view, no need to click it.

async () => {
  const year = "YEAR";
  const issue = "ISSUE"; // Format: "No.01", "No.12", etc.

  const dls = document.querySelectorAll('#yearissue0 dl.s-dataList');
  let target = null;
  for (const dl of dls) {
    if (dl.querySelector('dt')?.innerText?.trim() === year) {
      target = Array.from(dl.querySelectorAll('dd a')).find(a => a.innerText.trim() === issue);
      break;
    }
  }
  if (!target) {
    // Return available years and issues for the requested year
    const available = Array.from(dls).map(dl => ({
      year: dl.querySelector('dt')?.innerText?.trim(),
      issues: Array.from(dl.querySelectorAll('dd a')).map(a => a.innerText.trim())
    })).filter(y => y.year);
    return { error: 'issue_not_found', year, issue, available: available.slice(0, 5) };
  }

  target.click();
