This page and it's sub-pages serve as an introduction to Harvesting and Indexing your Florida OJ Journal for a variety of indexes. There are Best Practices for sharing information out, technical aspects of sharing with Ebsco Discovery Services and the Sunshine State Digital Network including answers to questions on their questionaires, as well as info about linking into the Florida Open Academic Library. The Index provides the OAI-PMH links for currently publishing journals on the FL OJ site.
Florida OJ is built using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) software. Any general documentation about OJS is applicable to Florida OJ. As of June 2023, Florida OJ is running on OJS version 3.3.0.14 and documentation for version 3 should be referenced when working with the software.
Florida OJ exposes all records through OAI-PMH
The setting to allow OAI-PMH is at the site level, not within the control of each journal. All records going out through OAI-PMH are at the article, not journal level, and only metadata for published articles is exposed through OAI-PMH. This does include published journals which are subscription only or items that have embargoes. For these items, metadata only is exposed (it does not include the full text of the article, nor any other content which is not generally available through the web interface for Florida OJ.)
Each journal has it's own OAI-PMH feed
If your campus liaises 5 journals, then you need to include all 5 feeds in harvesting in order to represent your campus's content. To find an OAI-PMH repository for your journal, add "/oai?" to the end of the URL.
For example, using journal-
https://journals.flvc.org/FAU_UndergraduateLawJournal
the OAI-PMH repository is-
https://journals.flvc.org/FAU_UndergraduateLawJournal/oai?
