#indexing

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

If the Google "site:" operator shows you a URL is indexed and Google Search Console does not say it is indexed, the URL is indexed. And if you're concerned the URL may not appear in queries - just search for it.

Search engines are constantly dumping perfectly good content from their indexes. They come back, recrawl it, and re-index it.

And Search Console's data often runs behind reality.

The proof is in the query.

I'm genuinely impressed with how many wrong things Scopus (Elsevier) can state about a journal...

scopus.com/sourceid/28442

This page appears to amalgamate information about 3 or more different journals into one mishmash

* The U.S. periodical 'Network' est. 1974 (ISSN-L: 0093-3341)
* The British journal 'Network' est. 1990 (ISSN-L: 0954-898X)
* The Swiss journal 'Network' est. 2021, published by MDPI (ISSN-L:
2673-8732)

Universities pay for Scopus? 😂

Does the African academy need its own citation index? by David Mills & Toluwase Asubiaro

"... journals published in the global peripheries, in small fields, or in languages other than English, struggle to get indexed. In 2023, if one excludes South Africa, only around 60 of the 30,000 plus journals indexed in Web of Science were published from Sub Saharan Africa."

🔔 Community Update
In 2023 6 third-party projects joined OWS.EU for R&D activities. Time for updates!

Today in the spotlight: Project LOREN
The project was set up to investigate a variety of legal questions re building & piloting the #OWI.

The team has compiled & analysed numerous laws + norms of relevance. Results are currently compiled into a legal opinion with actionable advice regarding #crawling, #searching, #indexing, #sharing of index and #disclosure of #data for scientific purposes.

Did you miss the University of Alberta Library #Editorial Lunch and Learn featuring multilingual publishing with #OpenJournalSsytems?

Start with this thread!

Why #MultilingualPublishing? When English is viewed as the standard for #ScholarlyPublishing, a lot of research is missed or minimalized.

Language-inclusivity improves #metadata, #indexing & #discoverability.

Consider using #OJS settings as part of an alternative publishing model 🧵 ⤵️
