Title: Research Assistant — Extract Paywalled Article Text into Zotero Notes (NYT, WSJ, FT, Economist, Business Insider) Description: I have a Zotero library containing approximately 300 entries from paywalled publications including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Economist, and Business Insider, and other paywall blocked journals. Each entry has a URL already saved, but the full article text is missing because these sources require subscriptions to access. I need a research assistant who can access these publications through their university library subscriptions and work through the library systematically, copying the full article text into a Zotero Note attached to each entry. The workflow is simple: Open each Zotero entry. Follow the URL. Access the full article through your university library. Copy the complete article text. Paste it as a new Note attached to that Zotero entry. Move to the next entry. Requirements — all three are mandatory: You must have active university library access to all six publications: NYT, WSJ, FT, The Economist, Bloomberg, and Business Insider. Please confirm this explicitly in your bid — list which publications your library covers. Bids that do not confirm university library access will not be considered. You must be comfortable working directly inside a shared Zotero library. I will give you access to the specific collection containing the paywall entries. You must be detail-oriented. The note should contain the full article text, cleanly copied, not truncated or paraphrased. What I am NOT looking for: This is not a scraping or coding project. No Python, no APIs, no automation tools. This is careful manual research work requiring legitimate library access. Do not bid if you are planning to use scraping tools or workarounds — I need the full licensed text, properly accessed. Deliverable: All entries in the shared Zotero collection have a Note attached containing the complete article text. A brief log noting any URLs that were inaccessible even through your library (dead links, articles removed, etc.). Ideal candidate: A graduate student or academic researcher at a university with broad database subscriptions. Familiarity with Zotero is helpful but not required — the workflow is simple enough to learn in ten minutes. To be considered, your proposal must include: (1) the name of your university, (2) a list of which of the publications — NYT, WSJ, FT, The Economist, Business Insider, Bloomberg — your library confirms it covers,

@Feriver

Hello, I understand you need a research assistant to systematically process ~300 Zotero entries from paywalled sources (NYT, WSJ, FT, Economist, Bloomberg, Business Insider), access full articles via university library subscriptions, and attach complete text notes to each record without truncation or paraphrasing. I will go entry-by-entry inside your shared Zotero library, open each URL, retrieve the full licensed article text through institutional access, and paste it into clean, clearly labeled Zotero Notes. I will also maintain a log of inaccessible or missing articles and ensure consistency across all entries. I am comfortable with meticulous academic data handling and Zotero workflows and will ensure accuracy, completeness, and organized delivery throughout the project. I can begin immediately and work methodically until the entire collection is completed. Thanks, Asif
