-------------------------------
Summary: Reports that Google Scholar is linking to DSpace
extracted text (*.pdf.txt) files instead of original PDF
Key: DS-1387
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1387
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: Bug
Components: XMLUI
Reporter: Tim Donohue
This ticket is a placeholder for several recent reports about PDF indexing
oddities with Google Scholar and DSpace (seemingly XMLUI specific, though that
is unconfirmed).
In several cases, users have reported that Google Scholar is mistakenly linking
to the internal extracted PDF text files (*.pdf.txt files). These internal
".pdf.txt" files are automatically generated by DSpace for its own indexing,
and are not meant to be utilized by external search engines.
Although the "*.pdf.txt" files are technically publicly accessible, they are
currently not linked to from the main Item "splash page", so it's uncertain how
they are being located by web spiders. (Some have speculated perhaps form the
OAI interface, or from indexing of the XMLUI's "mets.xml" file)
Here are a few threads describing this issues on dspace-tech mailing list:
* http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg19303.html
* http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg18831.html
If anyone else has noticed this issue, we'd encourage you to provide examples
in this JIRA ticket. It may help us to better track down whether this is a
DSpace issue, a Google Scholar issue, or perhaps even a bit of both.
