Fetches journal impact factors and JCR and CAS quartiles from the Justscience site by journal name and stores them in item fields. Also gets journal abbreviations, and a toolbox adds author bolding, case changes and clearing of the Extra field. Aimed at Chinese-language use.
Checking a journal's ranking by hand for every reference is slow. This fills it in for selected items. It only supports Zotero 6.
