1. Function

1.1. Update DOI

Gets and updates the DOI of the item.

1.2. Update Metadata

Update the metadata information for the item.

Note: Metadata is obtained through Zotero's DOI-based metadata scraping feature. Therefore, the amount of metadata crawled depends on Zotero's metadata crawled capabilities.

• When an item has a DOI, it is crawled directly by the DOI.
• If an item does not have a DOI, the DOI of the item is obtained according to its title, and then the item is crawled.
• When the item is Arxiv, regardless of whether the item has a DOI, the corresponding DOI is obtained according to the item title and then crawled.

1.3. Add Tag

1.3.1. Automatically add labels

According to the configuration in the Settings panel, when a new journal is added, the corresponding label is automatically added.

1.3.2. Manual addition

After updating the configuration in the Settings panel, when you want to add labels to the documents in the existing library.

2. PreferencePane

2.1. Choose Updte ItemType

Controls whether the selected item type belongs to the item type you want to update, preventing the item type you don't want to update when you click Update Meta Data. Currently, only three types of journal/conference/preprint are supported, and other types of entries have not been tested, so they have not been added.

2.2. Settings

Control update metadata waiting time, more than this time indicates update failure (recommended: 10000-20000), this is because the update is a single thread update, so it is not recommended to set too large.

2.3. Other functions

In addition to features that update metadata, when you select additional features that you want to turn on, the corresponding features are turned on. Currently available are: Custom add tags

2.3.1. Custom add tags

When you choose to use this feature, tag-Setting will appear below, click add-setting, fill in the appropriate information (item type, journal/conference name, tag (tag to be added)) and save. When a new entry is added, if the entry type matches and the journal/conference name appears in the journal/conference name of the new entry (it does not need to be exactly the same, just ensure that the configured journal/conference name is a substring of the journal/conference name of the new entry), then the corresponding tag is automatically added.
