Dear Dspace Technical Team, I have an issue with the indexing of our institutional repository, University of M'sila Institutional Repository (https://dspace.univ-msila.dz/), on Google Scholar.
In September 2023, our repository boasted approximately 28,900 indexed items. However, in December 2023, we witnessed a dramatic decrease. All previously indexed items have vanished, leaving our current count at zero on Google Scholar (March 2024). With the knowledge that we were using the old version of DSpace (Version 4.2), we have updated DSpace to version 7.6.1 since April 2024. Additionally, we followed the official search engine optimization guide. Unfortunately, the problem persists. For your reference, here's a search for our repository on Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=site%3Adspace.univ-msila.dz&oq= Our university's technical team has tirelessly attempted to resolve the issue, but to no avail. We urgently request any guidance or information you can offer to rectify the indexing problems plaguing our repository. Additionally, if possible, we'd appreciate knowing the point of contact at Google Scholar who handles such matters.
