I've seen some scripts that claim to do some of this with google scholar, but federated searches of GS violate their terms of service, so you'd probably get cut off trying to use them. Some of us have been hoping for a Google Scholar API for awhile, but, in lieu of that, I think WOS is probably your best bet.

My other feeling is that this is not necessarily a one size fits all journals problem, so if you are interested in delving into this more deeply, please contact me off list.
