Ivan Masár updated DS-1387:
---------------------------

    Description: 
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.

When you add comments to this ticket, please provide the DSpace version you are 
using and whether you are using XMLUI or JSPUI and whether you have OAI 
enabled.  If you have any examples you can link to in Google Scholar or any 
other oddities you've noticed, please note those as well.
