Frist, edit the DSpace config file and setup sitemaps as follows.

'''<font color="red">It is very important to avoid changing the institutional domain as it can generate confusion and it has a devastating effect on the visibility values.</font>'''
 
 
 
The institutional repository is a very important asset of the institution as a whole, not only of the library. We recommend the following syntax for the institutional repository web address:
 
 
 
'''http://repository.university.country'''
 
 
 
Repositories consist of full text papers, not bibliographic records. That means that the link to the full text file should be clearly marked in the web page of each record. Some repository designs make it difficult to locate such links.
 
 
 
'''<font color="red">For scientists it is important that the link to the full text would be easily citable. Therefore the following should be avoided in all situations:</font>'''
 
 
 
'''Very long URLs'''
 
 
 
The Web is a hypertextual corpus with links connecting pages. If your contents are not known (bad design, limited information, or minority language), the size is scarce or they have low quality, the site probably will receive few links from other sites.
 
 
 
Measuring and classifying the links from others can be insightful. You should expect links from your “natural” partners: Institutions from your locality or region, web directories from similar organisations, portals covering your topics, colleagues or partners personal pages. Your pages should make an impact in your common language community.
 
 
 
==Search engine friendly designs==
 
 
 
Avoid cumbersome navigation menus based on Flash, Java or JavaScript that can block the robot access.
 
Deep nested directories or complex interlinking can block robots too.
 
 
 
Databases and even highly dynamic pages can be invisible for some search engines, so use directories or static pages instead or as an option.

Introduction

It is very important that you ensure that the repository is properly configured so that accurate and authoritative metrics can be accomplished.

The metrics services should be able to reference unique persistent machine-readable identifiers and detailed metadata for openly accessible digital research artifacts in the repository.

Publishing public data in an open, standard, machine-readable format is a best practice.
