Harvesting of Institutional Repository records

[Julia Gilmore]

Hi OpenAlex community, 

We're curious if anyone here has experienced issues getting their IR records harvested by OpenAlex/Unpaywall or if its taken a long time from the point of requesting a harvest (which we did recently). 

When we check our endpoint with Unpaywall, it says it is successful but yet we only see 2 older records appearing in OpenAlex. 

OAI-PMH endpoint: https://utoronto.scholaris.ca/server/oai/request

We also tested our URL following the instructions on the Request harvest form and the result was successful: https://api.unpaywall.org/repository/endpoint/test/https://utoronto.scholaris.ca/server/oai/request 

Our records appear in CORE which also uses the OAI_DC endpoint. 

A few other considerations that we've thought might be impacting getting harvested

• Last December, we migrated to Scholaris and are now on DSpace 8.2. Our previous URL was tspace.library.utoronto.ca, now its utoronto.scholaris.ca
• IP address(es) are being blocked - OpenAlex may be attempting to harvest from a legacy domain or may be encountering a block when accessing the new Scholaris-hosted URL. 
• We are not yet registering DOIs for IR items, but many records (30k+) have existing publisher DOIs in the metadata. 

If you've encountered a similar issue or had success getting your IR records harvested, we would welcome any tips or suggestions. 

Thanks!

Julia
