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:

If those tags are present in your page source, then the OJS Google Scholar plugin is working properly.

From there, it’s up to Google Scholar to find and index the content. Again, we have no control over this or insight into how it works. We won’t be able help answer questions about why your journal is or isn’t indexed.
