OAI-PMH
Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)
The Journal of Plant Science and Phytopathology (JPSP) is dedicated to increasing the accessibility and global visibility of high-quality research in plant sciences, crop protection, and plant pathology. To support this mission, we implement the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), enabling seamless metadata exchange with repositories, indexing services, and academic search engines.
What is OAI-PMH?
The OAI-PMH is a standardized framework for metadata retrieval and indexing, widely used by open-access journals. By integrating this protocol, JPSP ensures that its published research is discoverable, indexed, and accessible to the global scientific community.
OAI-PMH Base URL
Our OAI-PMH metadata repository is available at:
OAI Base URL: https://www.plantsciencejournal.com/jpsp/oai
Researchers and harvesters can use this base URL to access structured metadata in various formats, including Dublin Core (DC), MODS, and MARCXML.
Supported Metadata Formats
The Journal of Plant Science and Phytopathology supports multiple metadata formats, ensuring compatibility with indexing services and repositories:
- oai_dc (Dublin Core): Standard metadata format for interoperability.
- marcxml: Widely used by academic libraries and archives.
- mods: XML-based metadata format for bibliographic records.
- oai_datacite: Structured citation metadata for research outputs.
- rfc1807: Legacy metadata format for structured harvesting.
These formats ensure smooth integration with digital archives and scholarly databases.
How to Use OAI-PMH
Metadata from JPSP can be retrieved using OAI-PMH-compatible harvesters and indexing tools. Example queries:
- Retrieve metadata formats:

Benefits of OAI-PMH Integration
Implementing OAI-PMH in JPSP offers several advantages:
- Increased research visibility: Articles are indexed in academic repositories.
- Higher citation rates: Enhanced discoverability leads to wider readership.
- Compliance with open-access mandates: Supports institutional and funding policies.
- Interoperability with digital libraries: Enables integration with research databases worldwide.
