Hi Santiago, I receive regular updates from the Google Scholar team on DSpace indexing. I tend to talk with them a few times a year & receive updates about any common issues they've found with indexing DSpace sites. They have never mentioned that the date format in "citation_publication_date" is an issue. If they ever do, we'd treat it as a bug and get it fixed.
However, I can verify that the "citation_publication_date" field simply uses the same date as your "dc.date.issued" metadata field on the Item. So, if you modify the "dc.date.issued" that will change the value in your "citation_publication_date" meta tag. But, I do not believe that is necessary for Google Scholar to index your site. Similarly, I've not heard of any issues with "citation_abstract_html_url" being the handle. This field takes its value from the "dc.identifier.uri" metadata field on your Item. So, if the Item has a different value in that field, it will be used in the "citation_abstract_html_url". Overall, it is possible to modify the behavior of these Google Scholar tags in DSpace 7. But, you have to modify the behavior of the corresponding "setCitation*Tag()" method in the "metadata.service.ts" file in the UI. You'd then need to recompile and restart the UI. For instance, here's the method that sets the "citation_abstract_html_url" tag value: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/blob/main/src/app/core/metadata/metadata.service.ts#L286 Tim On Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at 2:02:35 AM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > Also, `citation_date` is not formatted as required by Google.
