OAI-PMH Guideline

OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) is a widely adopted protocol that allows librarians and researchers to efficiently access and retrieve metadata from digital repositories. ETFLIN implements OAI-PMH for their journals, providing librarians and indexing agencies with a standardized and interoperable method to harvest valuable metadata. With this comprehensive metadata, librarians and indexing agencies can enhance their cataloging, indexing, and discovery services, making the journals more discoverable and accessible to their patrons.

The base link for OAI-PMH in each journal can be found on their respective journal links. You just need to add '/oai' at the end of the journal link to access the OAI-PMH of that journal. Here are some examples:
