Google Scholar Indexing error

[Abdul_Samad]

I have been running a few journals since June 2024. They were indexed in Google Scholar later after 2 months they got deindexed then I changed the domain after that they get indexed again, but after 2 months of indexing, they were deindexed again
Kindly suggest to me what the problem is and what the permanent solution is.
My journals are available at https://gassjournals.com

Hello @Abdul_Samad

Recently, we’ve encountered a lot of “me too” threads about journals and other publications experiencing Google Scholar issues, and we’re attempting to direct them into one place and close off the other threads in order to help keep the forum more tidy in accordance with our guidelines. So, we will close this thread, and encourage you to share your experience on that thread if you have anything unique to contribute.

Feel free to share your experience, in this thread, if you’d like. But, please know that fixing systemic issues related to Google Scholar is out of the control of PKP.

In particular, I’d also like to draw your attention to this particular thread, that explains how OJS (this would also apply to OMP and OPS) operates in relation to Google Scholar:

Google Scholar Indexing Issue

Hello all, PKP does not have any special insight into how Google Scholar operates. The Google Scholar plugin for OJS just adds meta tags to the article pages that Google Scholar can index when it crawls your journal website. You can verify that the meta tags are in place by looking at an article’s landing page and looking for meta tags that look like this: [image] If those tags are present in your page source, then the OJS Google Scholar plugin is working properly. From there, it’s up to Go…

We also have documentation on Google Scholar that might prove helpful as well.

If you happen to be in contact with Google Scholar, and hear anything from them that can be passed on to other users of PKP software, please do share on the first thread linked to above. Many users of PKP software have been challenged with Google Scholar issues, lately so any information that can be shared with the broader community would be helpful.
