We have a number of documents that we cannot post complete source because we lack legal copyright permissions for them (we have previously published in printed format), so we are instead publishing an abstract and an access URI link for each as an article artifact (surrogate).
For that I used the QuickSubmit plugin, which itself does not ask for a copy of a document, but just a link to it.
I am assuming that it does not them actually fetch and locally cache the actual document (since again that would require copyright to post.)
My question is if then when a user does a search will the system have tracked the reference and indexed the actual document, or just the text in the posted abstract?
If the later, is there any way to get searches to resolve to include the documents, and then show the posted reference which could then be used to access it?
Hi @guthrie,
Interesting use case. So, you upload the document with the QuickSubmit plugin, but just publish the metadata and external URI? Do you have the articles set as external galleys? If you do not publish the actual galleys,on your OJS site I couldn’t see how the actual document could be indexed/cached, if it is not made public.

Yes, basically that’s it. sort of emulating arXiv - you can search, and get back a description of and reference to the complete document.
No, I did not upload galleries, as we don’t have permission to do that.
Thanks. Yes, I understand your conclusion and it certainly seems right - but in theory the indexer could follow the link to the document and index it, converting references to the informational page. So if one asked about “xxx”, they would be pointed to document pages which represent documents with that content.
Just not how OJS works it seems(!).
On QuickSubmit since Galleys is optional, I thought people might use it in this way.
Hmm, I am new to all of this, and now confused(!).
I thought there would be a place on the submission page to list the reference -
“document source: http://journal.com/paper1234.pdf”.
Someone could read the title, authors, abstract, and then access the document as desired (again, like aRxiv). Any good way to do this?
But now I don’t find any such field - is my use-case possible?
