This standard allows global repositories, databases, and indexing services to harvest article metadata directly from our platform, ensuring wide visibility and interoperability.

FAQs

Is metadata harvesting automatic?

Yes. Once repositories register the base URL, metadata is harvested regularly and automatically.

Does OAI-PMH expose full text?

No. OAI-PMH shares only metadata (title, authors, abstract, DOI, etc.). Full text is accessible via the journal website.

How often is metadata updated?

Metadata updates occur in real-time upon publication or correction of an article.
