cnki-journal-index is a Claude Code skill that queries CNKI journal indexing status and evaluation metrics for developers and researchers who need structured inclusion data before literature reviews.

About

cnki-journal-index is a Claude Code skill from cookjohn/cnki-skills that automates CNKI journal indexing lookups (收录查询). Given a journal name or a CNKI detail URL containing navi.cnki.net/knavi/detail, the skill searches CNKI, opens the journal detail page, and extracts which databases index the journal—北大核心, CSSCI, CSCD, SCI, EI—and related evaluation metrics such as impact factors. It replaces manual portal browsing when scoping literature reviews or validating publication targets. Reach for cnki-journal-index when you need authoritative indexing flags and ranking data from CNKI in a structured list rather than copying fields by hand from Chinese knowledge-base portals during research or citation planning. Argument hints accept either a journal name for search-first lookup or a direct navi.cnki.net/knavi/detail URL when you already have the detail page. Results feed literature-review tables with inclusion flags developers can cite in research notes or tooling pipelines.

How do you check CNKI journal indexing status?

Index and catalog CNKI academic journals so literature reviews start from a structured journal list instead of manual browsing across Chinese knowledge-base portals.

Who is it for?

Researchers and developers conducting Chinese academic literature reviews who need CNKI indexing and ranking data quickly.

Skip if: Teams without CNKI access or workflows that only need English-only PubMed or Scopus lookups instead of CNKI portals.

When should I use this skill?

The user asks about a journal's CNKI indexing, 收录查询, impact factor, or ranking on Chinese databases.

What you get

Structured journal indexing records listing included databases, impact factors, and CNKI evaluation metrics.

By the numbers

  • Reports indexing across 5 major Chinese and international databases: 北大核心, CSSCI, CSCD, SCI, EI

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

## {nameCN} ({nameEN})

**收录数据库:** {indexedIn joined by " | "}

**基本信息:**
- ISSN: {issn}
- CN: {cn}
