What problem does it solve?
This Skill automates the tedious process of saving PubMed citations and their full-text PDFs into a local Zotero library or producing MEDLINE/RIS exports, removing manual copy-paste of metadata and one-by-one PDF downloading.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Fetches PubMed metadata via E-utilities (esummary and efetch) and assembles Zotero-compatible item JSON for journal articles.
- Supports single-PMID and batch exports from search results, resolves DOI and PMCID, and includes abstracts, authors, keywords, ISSN, and publication types.
- Pushes metadata to the Zotero Connector using saveItems, downloads PDFs when available with HTTP/content-type checks, and uploads attachments via saveAttachment; uses deterministic session IDs for idempotent saves.
- Provides a MEDLINE/RIS fallback export for import into other reference managers and includes user-facing troubleshooting messages for Zotero connectivity and read-only libraries.
Quick Start
Export PMID 35641793 to Zotero and attach any available PDFs to the saved item.
