Hi all, Obviously, Google Scholar controls the time frame in which they index sites. DSpace doesn't have any way to prompt Google Scholar to run a new index or update their index of your site. The only way I'm aware of to do that would be to contact Google Scholar and ask them nicely to reindex your site. Unfortunately, no one but Google Scholar can control when they index your site.
DSpace obviously strives to make itself easy for Google Scholar to index, and our SEO guidelines to optimize indexing are at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Search+Engine+Optimization But, if you are already following those guidelines and are *still having issues*, then the only other option is to reach out to Google Scholar directly (see their troubleshooting page: https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html#troubleshooting). Beyond the DSpace SEO guidelines, DSpace has no other way to control whether your site is indexed with Google Scholar. If you get in touch with Google Scholar, and they discover indexing problems in *DSpace itself*, then the Google Scholar team will reach out to the DSpace team to let us know. In that scenario, we'd work to fix the issues and improve things in future releases. I hope that helps, Tim On Friday, June 6, 2025 at 1:03:33 PM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > We have Dspace 5.10 Now is working properly, I think it going to take time > to be reindexed. or we have tod o something? > > > El viernes, 6 de junio de 2025 a las 9:15:42 UTC-3, Alfeu Uzai Tavares > escribió: > >> Hello, >> >> In 8.1 and 7.6.2 a new feature was added that enables SSR only for >> certain pages >> <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/User+Interface+Configuration#UserInterfaceConfiguration-ServerSideRendering(SSR)Settings> >> . >> The default values should be fine, I just tested it with 8.1 images >> (backend and frontend) and it is working on the necessary pages for Google >> indexing. >> >> You can test whether your instance has SSR enabled for the item pages by >> either disabling Javascript temporarily in your browser >> <https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/javascript/disable> or >> executing a *curl <url to item page>* in a terminal. >> >> If in either case you are unable to view the item page, the issue may be >> with your SSR configuration or how you are starting/deploying the front-end. >> >> >> Em sex., 6 de jun. de 2025 às 03:59, Vicente Zapatero Martin < >> [email protected]> escreveu: >> >>> Hi all, >>> >>> We experimented the same issue but in version 7.6.2, I know I must >>> upgrade to last version to improve in everything.
