CNKI Journal Table of Contents (期刊目录浏览 + 原版目录下载)

Browse journal issues, extract the paper list, and optionally open/download the original TOC PDF (封面+目录扫描版).

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS describes what to browse:

• {journal name} — which journal
• {year} (optional) — which year, defaults to latest
• {issue} (optional) — which issue number
• download (optional) — if included, download the original TOC PDF

Examples:

• 计算机学报 2026 01期 — browse 2026 issue 1
• 计算机学报 2026 01期 download — download original TOC PDF
• 计算机学报 — shows latest (网络首发)

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..())
    })).( y.);
     { : , year, issue, : available.(, ) };
  }

  target.();

  
    ( {
     n = ;
      = () => {
       rows = .();
       (rows. > ) ();
        (++n > ) ();
       (c, );
    };
    (c, );
  });

  
   rows = .();
   papers = .(rows).( ({
    : i + ,
    : dd.()?.?.(),
    : dd.()?.?.()?.(, ),
    : dd.()?.?.()
  }));

  
   tocBtn = .();

   {
    : .()?.?.(),
    : papers.,
    papers,
    : tocBtn?. || ,
    : location.
  };
}

3. Present results

## {journal_name} — {issueLabel}

共 {paperCount} 篇论文：

1. {title}  [pp. {pages}]
   作者：{authors}

2. {title}  [pp. {pages}]
   作者：{authors}
...
