# Japanese Research Topic Monitor: New J-STAGE Papers Since 2023

**Use case:** 

Japanese research topic monitor that tracks new J-STAGE papers since 2023. Save the search under a state name, schedule the run weekly, and each run returns only papers not seen before, with title, authors, journal, and DOI. Good for R&D teams and analysts who follow a technology area in Japan without re-reading old results.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [J-STAGE Scraper: 学術論文・引用検索 Papers & Citation Leaderboard](https://apify.com/getascraper/jstage-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/getascraper/jstage-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
