Hi, I think we'd need more information to attempt to help you. Could you give us an example of the link that returns a 404? I'm not understanding how the same link works from the Item's detail page but *doesn't work* if you access it directly. Is there a chance you have Server Side Rendering disabled in some way?
You also should take a look at our Search Engine Optimization guidelines, as they provide the best advice for how to make your site accessible to Google Scholar. Make sure to follow *all the guidelines*. https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC9x/Search+Engine+Optimization Tim On Tuesday, October 28, 2025 at 7:35:04 AM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > I'm having trouble indexing with Google Scholar.
