OAI-PMH
Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)
The International Journal of Physics Research and Applications (IJPRA) is dedicated to ensuring the seamless accessibility and discoverability of high-quality physics research worldwide. To achieve this, we implement the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), which enables automated metadata exchange with institutional repositories, search engines, and indexing services.
What is OAI-PMH?
The OAI-PMH is a globally recognized standard that facilitates structured metadata retrieval and indexing for scholarly journals. This protocol ensures that research articles published in IJPRA are widely accessible to researchers, academics, and students worldwide, enhancing the journal’s visibility and impact.
By integrating OAI-PMH, IJPRA enables seamless interoperability with academic repositories, open-access databases, and digital libraries.
OAI-PMH Base URL
Our OAI-PMH metadata repository is accessible at the following base URL:
OAI Base URL: https://www.physicsresjournal.com/ijpra/oai
This base URL allows metadata harvesters to retrieve article metadata in various formats, including Dublin Core (DC), MODS, and MARCXML.
Supported Metadata Formats
The International Journal of Physics Research and Applications supports multiple metadata formats to enhance research discoverability:
- oai_dc (Dublin Core): Standard metadata format for indexing services.
- marcxml: Commonly used in academic and library systems.
- mods: An XML-based metadata standard for bibliographic records.
- oai_datacite: Enables structured citation metadata for research outputs.
- rfc1807: A legacy metadata exchange format.
These formats ensure smooth integration with indexing databases, digital archives, and scholarly search engines.
How to Use OAI-PMH
Metadata from IJPRA can be accessed using OAI-PMH-compatible harvesters and indexing tools. Example queries include:
