Ebsco Discovery Services Guidance

Submitting Florida OJ records to EBSCO Discovery Services (EDS):

*Note* Out of public colleges and universities currently using Digital Services and Open Educational Resources services, the only institutions contributing records to EDS are institutions using EDS for resource discovery on their campuses.  Although digital library resources are open access, at this time, it is customary for EDS to configure each campus's search to access only resources contributed by that campus.  Therefor, this guide is written with the goal of providing information to provide to EDS, if you are using EDS for resource discovery on your campus and wish to have your Florida OJ records show up in your campus's EDS instance.

After you submit your journal to EDS, there will be a rigorous product review done by the EDS Product Management Team to determine if the title fits in the EDS collection. At this time there is no time frame for the amount of time this review will take.

How to Submit your Title for inclusion in the Ebsco Discovery Services

To have your Journal included in the EDS full-text database, you must first submit the Ebsco Publishers Partnerships Request Form. You will be required to provide basic info about the publisher, which would be the institution hosting the journal, ISSNs and/or ISBNs for the title, info about open access for the title, and basic title and URL for the journal, as well as the languages it is published in.
