The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) was created by the Open Archives Initiative. This is a protocol developed for collecting metadata descriptions of records in an archive so that services can be built from these data regardless of the physical architecture or operating systems. Data Providers are repositories that expose structured metadata via OAI-PMH. Service Providers then make OAI-PMH service requests to harvest that metadata.

Our journals fully supports the OAI Metadata Harvesting Protocol 2.0. Metadata for all published articles is available in the Dublin Core format (oai-dc).


Organizations interested to access the metadata and full-text XML files of the articles published in Journal name are invited to use our OAI-PMH interface, as needed.
