My institute wants to get Google Scholar indexing for a Journal( OORJA). like EBSCO, SCOPUS databases. Could anyone help me to get this database indexing for the journal?
P.s mainly you need to provide searchable html and pdf files and you should hav XML files for bibliographic data! The issues of the journal including papers are published regularly and in separate pages.
Researchers should carefully examine their HTML or PDF file formats to make sure the text is searchable.
They should configure their websites to export bibliographic data in HTML meta tags.
Researchers should post all articles on separate web pages (i.e., each article should have its URL).
They should ensure their websites are available to users and crawlers at all times.
Researchers should also remember to make sure that they have a navigation interface that can be crawled by Google robots.
They should place each article and abstract in individual HTML or PDF files. This is because Peer-Reviewed Journals will not index multiple articles within a single PDF file.
Since its indexing guidelines can get pretty technical, researchers should ensure that, if their article(s) are currently hosted on a stand-alone website that they have custom-built or that they are hosting through an external provider like WordPress, they either work with the internal IT resources available to make the required updates or hire a professional web developer to do it for them.
Partake in an upcoming ARDA conference to know more about the above-listed steps. Those researchers that don’t wish to deal with the technical aspects of indexing their published articles in Google Scholar may want to consider moving their articles to a website hosted on a journal publishing platform that can handle the strenuous Google Scholar indexing process on their behalf.
A Tip That Can Help Speed Up The Process
To conclude, to speed up the process of getting their work indexed by Google Scholar, research authors can send their articles to Google Books. Google Scholar considers Google Books to be a “trusted source,” so if a researcher’s article contains references or a bibliographic section, Google should treat it as “scientific” and display it in the Scholar search results. Researchers should remember to include a link to the full-text pdf in their book description.
