We have upgraded to DSpace 8.1 for our Dspace system. At the moment, items are indexing in Google but not in Google Scholar. Do the front and back ends of DSpace have any particular configurations? I made use of NGINX. I need your assistance with this matter.

Hi,

We have documented guidelines for Search Engine Optimization.  These must be followed for Google Scholar to index your content.  See https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Search+Engine+Optimization

If you are already following these guidelines, then you should reach out to Google Scholar.  See their guidelines & troubleshooting docs at https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html

the docs are partially outdated.
At least, there ist no DC* metadata in the head since DSpace 7.x
