WoS Export

Export WoS paper records. Two modes: direct Zotero push (preferred) or file export via UI.

Mode A: Push to Zotero (preferred, no UI interaction)

Collect paper metadata (from prior search/detail results) and push to Zotero via the push_to_zotero.py script.

Step 1: Prepare Paper Data

Build a JSON object from data already available in the conversation (from wos-search API results or wos-paper-detail extraction). The script accepts WoS paper fields directly:

{
  "title": "Value co-creation in service logic",
  "authors": "Grönroos, C",
  "source": "MARKETING THEORY",
  "year": 2011,
  "volume": "11",
  "issue": "3",
  "pages": "279-301",
  "doi": "10.1177/1470593111408177",
  "issn": "1470-5931",
  "abstract": "The underpinning logic of...",
  "language": "English",
  "accessionNumber": "WOS:000295471900004",
  "authorKeywords": ["value co-creation", "service logic"],
  "keywordsPlus": ["DOMINANT LOGIC"],
  "citedCount": "992",
  "alldbCited": "1,254",
  "jif": "2.8",
  "jifYear": "2024",
  "jcrQuartile": "Q3",
  "researchAreas": "Business & Economics",
  "wosCategories": "Business",
  "docType": "Article"
}

For multiple papers, wrap in an array or {"items": [...]}.

Step 2: Push via Script

echo '{JSON_DATA}' | python "e:\wos-skills\.claude\skills\wos-export\scripts\push_to_zotero.py"

Or save to temp file first (recommended for large data or Chinese characters):

python "e:\wos-skills\.claude\skills\wos-export\scripts\push_to_zotero.py" /tmp/wos_export.json

Step 3: Report Result

• OK: Saved (session: xxx) → success
• OK: Already saved (session: xxx) → idempotent, no duplicates
• Error: Zotero not running → tell user to start Zotero desktop

The script auto-detects Zotero's currently selected collection. User can change target by selecting a different folder in Zotero before exporting.

To list collections: python push_to_zotero.py --list

Mode B: File Export via UI (fallback)

When Zotero is not available or user specifically wants a file.

Prerequisites

Browser must be on a WoS results page (/summary/...) or full record page (/full-record/...).

Supported Formats

Format	Menu Item	File
RIS	"RIS (other reference software)"	.ris
BibTeX	"BibTeX"	.bib
Excel	"Excel"	.xlsx
Plain Text	"Plain text file"	.txt
Fast 5000	"Fast 5000"	Quick export

Steps

1. take_snapshot → find Export button (button with haspopup="menu" containing "Export") → click
2. take_snapshot → find format menuitem → click
3. Handle export dialog (record range, content options) → click download button

Notes on UI Export

• Uses 3-4 tool calls: snapshot + click Export + snapshot + click format + dialog
• "Fast 5000" exports up to 5000 records with basic fields
• On full-record page, exports only the current record

Zotero Script Features

• Deterministic session ID: Same papers always produce the same session ID (content hash). Prevents duplicates on retry (409 → treated as success).
• WoS metadata mapping: Automatically maps WoS fields to Zotero's journalArticle schema.
• Extra field: Stores WoS-specific data (WoS ID, citation counts, JIF, JCR quartile, research areas) in Zotero's Extra field.
• Author parsing: Handles WoS standard format "LastName, Initials" → Zotero firstName/lastName.
• Keywords: Both Author Keywords and Keywords Plus are added as Zotero tags.

Notes

• Mode A (Zotero push) requires no browser interaction — uses data from prior API calls
• Mode A works even when browser is not on a WoS page
• Script path: e:\wos-skills\.claude\skills\wos-export\scripts\push_to_zotero.py
• Zotero must be running on localhost:23119
