Overview
Basic principles
Check your repository with analyzer.atmire.com
Google Analytics
Most, if not all of the information presented today is present,  

in some shape or form on
https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html
But first
Does Google Scholar rely on OAI-PMH?
What does the "site:" operator tell you
about coverage of your repository?
Does Google Scholar index all your items?
How long does it take for an item to get indexed?
If you don't see you item in the search results,
does that mean it isn't indexed?
Is it required to register you repository
somewhere in order to get it included?

Site-wide principles
Google Scholar treats DSpace like any website
Robots.txt needs to be in the root of the domain
Robots.txt needs to reference a sitemap
Pages should load "fast enough"
Basic Principles - Site wide

It's alive !

Item specific principles
Basic Principles
Scholarly articles
"The content hosted on your website must consist primarily of
scholarly articles - journal papers, conference papers,
technical reports, or their drafts, dissertations, pre-prints,
post-prints, or abstracts. Content such as news or magazine
articles, book reviews, and editorials is not appropriate for
Google Scholar. Documents larger than 5MB, such as books
and long dissertations, should be uploaded to Google Book
Search; Google Scholar automatically includes scholarly
works from Google Book Search."
Basic Principles - Item specific

File format
"Your files need to be either in the HTML or in the

PDF format. PDF files must have searchable text, i.e.,
you must be able to search for and find words in the
document using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Each file must not exceed 5MB in size. To index

larger files, or to index scanned images of pages
that require OCR, please upload them to Google
Book Search."
The next slide is the most
important slide in this webinar
Metadata Matters!
Required fields
citation_title
citation_author preferably one author per tag and order correctly
Make sure you retain the entire author list.
citation_publication_date minimally year - use dc.date.issued

citation_pdf_url  
https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html#indexing

Author order pre-DSpace 5.4
Author order was systematically wrong in 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.
This was resolved in DSpace 5.4 and as of DSpace 6
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2679
If you're pre-DSpace 5.4, either patch or perform the minor
update.

Item principles RECAP
1. Scholarly content only
2. Google Scholar needs to be able to get to the full text, in

HTML or PDF, max 5MB and clearly linked FROM the item
page if it's not ON the item page itself.
3. The metadata on your item page needs to match with
what's included in the full text file, watch especially out for
correct authors and issue dates.
Basic Principles
Checking your repository and items
https://analyzer.atmire.com
Your Google Scholar traffic in Google Analytics
Identifying traffic from a specific source
Use?
1. Get a feel for what your "normal" volume of
Google Scholar traffic is on a day
2. Setup a recurring report so that you can easily
CHECK if suddenly you get diversions from this
standard amount
IF you care about Google Scholar as a source of
traffic, this is a way to stay on top of the flow of
incoming traffic, and to start looking for sources
of problems when you see alarming drops in
traffic.
