DergiPark Harvesting

For a journal managed on DergiPark (Türkiye's national journal platform), submissions and peer review take place on DergiPark. DergiPark is selected as the submission method in the journal's profile, and the journal's DergiPark address is entered. From then on, the submit button on the public site opens the submission form on DergiPark.

Once harvesting is turned on, the issues and articles the journal has published on DergiPark are copied into the catalogue and updated automatically once a week. The original page of a harvested article is on DergiPark. For this reason these articles are not included in the sitemap or in OAI-PMH, but they appear on the public site, in search and on the issue pages.

JournTech sends its requests to DergiPark one at a time and with pauses between them. If DergiPark turns a request down, JournTech waits for the time DergiPark asks for and tries again. PDFs that cannot be fetched at the moment are requested again later.
