[EP-tech] Re: Eprints-tech Digest, Vol 54, Issue 17


Hi,
I have 12 IRs running as separate instances each for different labs of "CSIR India" on a central server csircentral.net with subdomains like: ncl.csircentral.net, cecri.csircentral.net etc.
I am the overall administrator but unable to answer queries on "Embargo expiry date". User complaining that documents are getting opened by registered users even before the "Embargo expiry date".
In my view, registered users can access these document anytime even before expiry of Embargo date. But users are not convinced, please clarify this so that I can satisfy them with the authentic response from Eprints

Hi Pierre


Have a look in eprints/<archivename>/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_render.pl in the anonymous function starting:

$c->{eprint_render} = sub {

If the EPrints native metadata is being rendered you should be able to find the following lines:

my $links = $session->make_doc_fragment();

$links->appendChild( $session->plugin('Export::Simple')->dataobj_to_html_header($eprint) );

If it's not there you should be able to add it, reload the configuration/restart httpd and it will just work.  There are caveats, e.g., if you have changed the name of fields in the schema or the plugin has been disabled.

Regards
Mark

Hi all,

                We have removed the <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" /> from default.xml. We confirm that we are running on Eprints version 3.1-2008-12-03-r3984. Anurag : you mention that all versions of eprints over 3.0 can generate the machine-readable bibliographic metadata. Obviously this is not the case for us. Following your assertion, something is probably missing in the configuration of our repository. I'm not too familiar with the config of eprints: I would much appreciate any help on activating this feature.

Best regards,

Pierre Nault

Hi Marc: I took a quick look at the examples you mentioned. I noticed couple of issues:

First things first, you are explicitly asking for these pages to not be indexed. For the two examples you mentioned:
view-source:http://www.archipel.uqam.ca/4254/
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />

view-source:http://www.archipel.uqam.ca/4252/
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />

A noindex robots metatag on an html page asks web search services to not index the page.

Second, I don't know if this is an old version of eprints or a custom repository but looks like it doesn't include the machine-readable bibliographic metadata that eprints 3.0 and later embed using metatags. Eg:
view-source:http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/349474/

<meta name="eprints.creators_name" content="Ohka, Seii" />
<meta name="eprints.creators_name" content="Sakai, Mai" />
<meta name="eprints.creators_name" content="Bohnert, Stephanie" />
<meta name="eprints.creators_name" content="Igarashi, Hiroko" />
<meta name="eprints.creators_name" content="Deinhardt, Katrin" />
<meta name="eprints.creators_name" content="Schiavo, Giampietro" />
<meta name="eprints.creators_name" content="Nomoto, Akio" />
[...]

If you are using an older version of eprints, I would recommend upgrading to a version later than 3.0. If you are using a different repository software, I would recommend http://roar.eprints.org/help/google_scholar.html and http://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html

cheers,
anurag

I have been told that closed access deposits for

(I mean the metadata, of course, not the full-text, which I know is
unharvestable till access is re-set as OA).

There's no reason that the metadata pages shouldn't be indexed, but I don't
think (?) Google Scholar will list metadata-only records from repositories.

A specific example would be useful.

It's bad news (for the Button) if GS does not index the metadata of Closed Access deposits. (GS certainly indexes plenty of papers that do not have a free full-text version on the web).

Could this (if it's true) be fixed by optimizing the way an EPrints IR presents itself to google and GS (levels of embedding or something like that)? I seem to remember Les saying that the depth of documents was important.

A DSpace IR, Orbi, has 50% Closed Access contents (for example, here<http://orbi.ulg.ac.be/browse?type=datepublished&rpp=20&value=2012>).
These are all picked up by Google, for example this one: "Tubulin isoforms identified in the brain by MALDI in-source decay"
but they appear very late in the Google hit list (especially for much-sited or multi-cited papers)
and the Orbi version does not seem to be picked up by GS at all.

This is extremely important, because it affects the efficacy of the Button, and thereby the power of an immediate-deposit mandate (and the incentive to adopt one).

Is there any way to address this problem directly in EPrints (plus advice for our cousins in DSpace)?

Many thanks,

Stevan

Hi,

My belief that Google / Scholar doesn't index closed access documents (more precisely, the HTML page with the metadata) is based upon a simple check with two closed access documents in Archipel :

1. http://www.archipel.uqam.ca/4252

This is the manuscript of a published article (Title : So into it they forget what time it is?)

If I put the title (between quotes) in Google or Google Scholar, all I see is the published (toll access) version :

http://www.igi-global.com/chapter/into-they-forget-time/67430

2. http://www.archipel.uqam.ca/4254

The title is: Discretionary power of project managers in knowledge intensive firms and gender issues

Again, Google Scholar finds only the published version (Google doesn't even find it):

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cjas.147/abstract

On the same results page, one sees another paper, available in open acces in Archipel, citing this one.

Both manuscripts have been in Archipel for more than one year (deposit date: Nov 2011).
