Indexing in google

[Jamshidi]

Why doesn’t the article page find in Google search?

For example, we published an article entitled “The Effect of Ash from Burning Industrial Waste on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Ordinary Portland Concrete”

With the following address:

https://www.journals-researchers.com/ojs/index.php/jcer/article/view/157

But google cannot find it.

Hi @Jamshidi,

There could be a variety of different reasons why your journal is not yet visible in Google results. As a starting point, if you haven’t seen it yet, we recommend checking out our Google Scholar guide: https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/google-scholar/en/

Additionally, many have seen success by registering their site with the Google Search Console. There is some good advice on this in this guide.

We have read and reviewed all the cases, but articles published from 2025 are still not indexed in Google Scholar. I would appreciate your guidance.

Hello @Jamshidi,

Thanks - I was hoping that some of that first stage information would help in resolving your issues, like it has for some in the past. But, 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 tidier 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 Software Support

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.

Best regards,

Roger
