Hello Team,

we have created a new Dspace website, had 1000+ published articles. Its been 8 months.

I am unable to find these articles in google search, 
As I am new to these kind of repositories, can anyone suggest me what should be done to get indexed in google scholar.

Thanks in advance and any support will appreciated.

Regards,
Samdani.

Hi,

We do not have a way to force Google Scholar to index any sites.  You should reach out to the Google Scholar team for advice on how to get them to index your site again?  See the inclusion guidelines for Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html

Additionally, please be aware of our Search Engine Optimization guidelines for DSpace: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Search+Engine+Optimization

While these guidelines are not specific to Google Scholar, many of the hints/tips in them were added based on feedback from the Google Scholar team.  So, it's important to double check that you site is following those guidelines if you want Google Scholar to index you well.

I can verify that the Google Scholar team does reach out to myself & the DSpace Committers whenever they notice common errors from many different DSpace sites at once.  Those common errors may be the sign of some bug in DSpace.  When that occurs, the developers make it a priority to fix the issue in the next DSpace release.

Overall, you should report your issues to Google Scholar.  If they find common issues, they will report them back to DSpace developers to solve within the next release.

Tim
