Dear Community, some time ago you help us! We again need your help again!

We have a problem with indexing our repository in Google Scholar.

Our repository https://card-file.ontu.edu.ua/ was correctly indexed after your help 2 years ago, all of the issues were in a Google Scholar search, but now we couldn't find any issues. In 2022, we must change the domain name due to organization renaming. In 2023 we changed the Dsapce platform on ver. 7.4. What happened and how we or you could fix this bug?

Hi,

It's very difficult for us to guess why Google Scholar isn't indexing your site.  It could be as simple as they haven't found the new domain name.  

But, it also could be that you haven't followed all the guidelines/recommendations we have for Search Engine Optimization in the documentation at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Search+Engine+Optimization

There was also another email thread sent to this same dspace-community mailing list about problems someone else had with Google Scholar indexing.  So, that may also be a resource for how to solve one common problem: https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-community/c/yxV1lomMRM4/m/qwHtUrTJDwAJ

If you are able to provide additional details about what is wrong, we may be able to help further.  But, hopefully it's one of the common problems that is listed above.

Tim
