Our journal was hosted by a different publisher until 2024. In 2025, we launched a new website and republished all previously published articles there.
The issue is that the old website is now offline, so all Google Scholar links pointing to the old URLs show “Page Not Found.” Although the articles exist on the new website, Google Scholar still shows the outdated links.
I would like to know:
-
Is there a way to map or redirect the old article URLs to the new URLs, so that users clicking the Google Scholar link are taken directly to the article on the new website?
-
Are there any recommended methods (redirects, canonical tags, URL update requests, etc.) to fix this issue when the old website is no longer accessible?
Any guidance from those who have handled journal website migrations would be greatly appreciated.
