OAI-PMH | Trends in Computer Science and Information Technology

Trends in Computer Science and Information Technology (TCSIT) fully supports the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) to enhance global research accessibility and interoperability. OAI-PMH enables metadata collection from our journal, allowing repositories, libraries, and indexing services to efficiently harvest and archive our published content.

▪ What is OAI-PMH?

OAI-PMH is a standardized protocol developed by the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) to facilitate the exchange of metadata between publishers, digital libraries, repositories, and search engines. This ensures that scholarly content is widely accessible and indexed in multiple research platforms.

The OAI-PMH system allows metadata harvesting in formats such as Dublin Core (DC) and Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS), ensuring seamless integration with global indexing services.

▪ OAI-PMH Base URL

The OAI-PMH service for TCSIT can be accessed via the following base URL:

▪ How OAI-PMH Benefits Our Journal?

Enhanced Visibility: Research papers are easily accessible to global repositories and digital libraries.
Interoperability: OAI-PMH ensures seamless data exchange between different indexing systems.
Efficient Metadata Harvesting: Allows automated retrieval of article metadata by aggregators such as OAI.
Improved Indexing: Increases exposure in major academic search engines, repositories, and research databases.
Open Science Compliance: Supports open-access policies and enhances scholarly communication.

▪ Supported Metadata Formats

The TCSIT OAI-PMH service supports the following metadata formats for harvesting:

Dublin Core (DC): Standard metadata format widely used in academic repositories.
MARCXML: Structured metadata format for library catalog systems.
Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS): A richer XML-based metadata standard.
OAI_DC: Standard OAI-compliant metadata schema.
