the scraping reference process get stuck

Why is it that when I scrape CNKI literature, the status shows normal, but when processing the references of this paper, only three references can be recognized? Is this because the fourth one is a Chinese literature that caused the process to get stuck? And why can't the system skip this problematic entry and continue to scrape the subsequent references?

As said in a previous thread, you'll need to contact the plugin developer.

... and in this case the plugin is Zotero (Ethereal) Reference, with the latest versions now seemingly coming from Gitee not Github ...

While the plugin can use a number of different ways to populate the right-pane reference list (Open Alex, Semantic Scholar, parsing PDF text, CNKI for Chinese users), those sources are sometimes less than completely accurate.
