Hi all, You should check our Search Engine Optimization guidelines for DSpace 8, which were written based on feedback from the Google Scholar team.
https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Search+Engine+Optimization Especially make sure that your robots.txt looks correct, and that your Sitemaps are enabled & working. You also should verify you are running in production mode, which ensures that server side rendering is enabled (as this is required for search engine bots). Assuming you've followed those guidelines, there should be no issues with indexing your DSpace 8 site in Google Scholar. In that scenario, you also could contact Google Scholar via their troubleshooting guidelines at https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html#troubleshooting Tim On Wednesday, June 4, 2025 at 10:05:51 AM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > Dear Ezequiel and all, > > I’m experiencing the same issue after upgrading our repository to *DSpace > 8*.
