Hi everyone! I have some problems! The site name is "SDU Repository:: Home" (Fig. 1). I wanted only the name "SDU Repository" to remain. Then when I go to
Communities and collections. After that, the site name will change to "SDURepository ::Community List " (Fig. 2). Here I also wanted only the "SDU Repository" header to remain. Then, when I go to one of the communities (for example, “01. Faculty of Engineering and Physics”), the name of the site changes to “01. Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences” (Photo 3). But I need in the community
Collection, Item, etc. everywhere there was only the name of the site "SDU Repository" without other inscriptions. That is, the name "SDU Repository" has not changed. I hope I managed to get my point across! Kind regards Kussaiynov M!

Hello,
Unfortunately it's not possible to keep the same HTML <title> tag across all pages in DSpace, as that would have a negative impact on Search Engine Optimization (SEO). When any website is indexed by Google (or other search engines), those search engines expect the <title> tag to be different on different pages, as that's a simple way of telling pages apart. If you change every <title> to be the same, it's likely your site will show up oddly in Google Search results (it's even possible that Google won't index you if they feel this is an error). See these best practices from Google about page titles: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35624

In any case, DSpace doesn't provide a way to make the <title> tag the same across all pages...in the DSpace code the title changes automatically based on the page (e.g. as you saw, the homepage always has "[Site name] :: Home" while the Community list has "[Site Name] :: Community List").
Overall, this isn't easily possible in DSpace because we align DSpace with best practices for SEO. You'd likely have to modify the code in some way if you wanted to make this change...but again, it likely will negatively impact how your site appears in Google Search results.
