OMANARP Archiving & Indexing Policy: Google Scholar

OMANARP (Oteige-Magongo Academic Research Publishing) is dedicated to ensuring that all research published in its open access journals is discoverable, accessible, and widely disseminated. To achieve this, OMANARP follows a comprehensive archiving and indexing strategy that includes partnering with major academic databases, repositories, and indexing platforms, such as Google Scholar, etc., to maximize the visibility and impact of its publications.

Archiving Policy

OMANARP follows best practices for archiving and preservation of research content to ensure long-term availability and access to published articles. All articles published in OMANARP journals are archived both on OMANARP’s own platform and are deposited in trusted external repositories where they are eligible for indexing and long-term storage.

• Digital Preservation: All published articles are stored in secure digital formats with multiple copies to ensure they are preserved for the long term. OMANARP partners with various open-access digital repositories and archives to ensure that all content is safely preserved and remains accessible even in the event of technical failures or platform changes.
• Open Access Repositories: OMANARP promotes the inclusion of its articles in major open-access repositories and archives, ensuring compliance with global standards for content preservation. Articles may be deposited in relevant databases as part of OMANARP’s commitment to open access and scholarly communication.

Indexing with Google Scholar

OMANARP prioritizes the inclusion of its journals and articles in major academic indexing platforms, such as Google Scholar, and others to increase visibility, discoverability, and citation potential. Google Scholar is one of the most widely used search engines for scholarly research and indexes millions of academic articles across various disciplines.

Process of Indexing with Google Scholar

1. Metadata Submission:

• OMANARP ensures that the metadata for each article published in its journals is formatted according to the technical and quality standards required by Google Scholar. This includes complete and accurate bibliographic information such as article titles, author names, abstract, keywords, journal name, and publication date.
• OMANARP ensures that every article has a persistent Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and proper citation details, as these are critical for indexing and tracking academic citations on platforms like Google Scholar.

2. XML Feeds and Direct Submission:

• OMANARP's journals are indexed by Google Scholar through automated XML feeds, which are sent directly to the Google Scholar indexing system. These feeds contain all relevant metadata and links to full-text articles.
• In some cases, Google Scholar may directly crawl the OMANARP platform and index articles through the site’s own submission process.

3. Full-Text Accessibility:

• To ensure that articles are properly indexed and ranked in Google Scholar, full-text versions of the articles (either as HTML or PDF) must be freely accessible to the public. OMANARP adheres to this requirement by making all published articles available under a Creative Commons license (CC BY), ensuring open access.
• Authors are encouraged to upload preprints, supplementary data, and other relevant materials to ensure comprehensive indexing and discoverability.

4. Quality Control and Review:

• OMANARP regularly monitors the indexing process and works closely with Google Scholar, Cross Ref, to ensure that all journal articles meet their technical and quality standards. This includes checking for issues related to metadata formatting, article accessibility, and the accuracy of bibliographic information.

5. Citations and Metrics:

• Articles indexed by Google Scholar are eligible to receive citations, which are tracked by Google Scholar’s citation index. OMANARP actively encourages authors to share and promote their research to maximize visibility and citation impact.
• Google Scholar’s citation counts are a key metric for the success of research articles, and the ability to track citations helps both authors and journals evaluate the academic impact of their publications.

6. Timeliness of Indexing:

• Google Scholar typically indexes articles shortly after they are published. OMANARP works to ensure that newly accepted articles are indexed as quickly as possible. This allows researchers to share their work with the academic community immediately upon publication.

Benefits of Google Scholar Indexing

• Increased Visibility: Being indexed in Google Scholar enhances the discoverability of research articles, making them accessible to a global audience of researchers, students, and professionals.
• Higher Citation Potential: Google Scholar’s citation tracking system helps researchers gain recognition for their work, as indexed articles are more likely to be cited in future publications.
• Enhanced Impact: Articles indexed in Google Scholar contribute to a journal’s impact factor and can enhance the reputation of both the author and the journal.
• Global Access: Google Scholar provides free access to academic articles, aligning with OMANARP’s commitment to open access publishing, ensuring that research is accessible to all, regardless of institutional affiliation or geographic location.

Additional Indexing Platforms

In addition to Google Scholar, OMANARP works with several other prominent indexing platforms and repositories to increase the reach of its publications. These include:

• DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals): OMANARP ensures its journals are listed in DOAJ, a major open-access database.
• Cross Ref: Articles published by OMANARP are assigned DOIs and indexed in Cross Ref for proper citation and tracking.
• Research Gate and Academia.edu: Authors are encouraged to upload their articles to academic networking platforms, where they can interact with the global research community.

Compliance and Standards

OMANARP ensures that its archiving and indexing practices comply with the highest standards set by the academic publishing community. The organization is committed to providing researchers with the tools and resources necessary to increase the visibility and impact of their work.

• Open Access Standards: All articles published by OMANARP are open access and free to read and download, ensuring they meet the accessibility requirements for indexing platforms like Google Scholar.

• Equations: If your manuscript includes equations, format them clearly using the equation editor in Word or Latex. Number each equation sequentially.
• Abbreviations: Define all abbreviations at their first mention in the manuscript. Avoid excessive use of abbreviations, as this can reduce readability.
• References: Use an appropriate citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, or Chicago) consistently throughout the manuscript. For in-text citations, use author-date citation style e.g., (Smith, 2020).
