==Introduction==
All the scientific production, formal and informal, draft or definitive, published or unpublished, should be available from a unique web site. 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:
+
<font color="red">'''It is very important that the research archive content is [[SUNScholar/Ranking|discovered]] and indexed by trusted external authorities.'''</font>
 
 
'''http://repository.university.country'''
 
 
 
*'''<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.'''
 
 
 
*'''Avoid cumbersome navigation menus based on Flash, Java or JavaScript that can block the robot access.'''
 
 
 
*'''For scientists it is important that the link to the full text would [[SUNScholar/How_do_I_cite_or_reference_items_on_SUNScholar|be easily citable]].'''
 
  
*'''Therefore <u>Very Long URLs</u> should be avoided in all situations.</font>'''

At Stellenbosch University Library we also use [http://piwik.org Piwik] to assist us with web [[SUNScholar/Statistics|statistics]] for our research archive.

===Google Analytics===
 
Open your main Dspace config file and look for the '''xmlui.google.analytics.key''' setting. Enter your google analytics key.
 
 
 
{{REBUILD}}
 
 
 
===Google Sitemap===
 
First, edit the DSpace config file and setup sitemaps as follows.
 
<pre>
 
#### Sitemap settings #####
 
# the directory where the generated sitemaps are stored
 
sitemap.dir = http://scholar.sun.ac.za/sitemaps
 
 
 
#
 
# Comma-separated list of search engine URLs to 'ping' when a new Sitemap has
 
# been created.  Include everything except the Sitemap URL itself (which will
 
# be URL-encoded and appended to form the actual URL 'pinged').
 
#
 
#sitemap.engineurls = http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=
 
 
 
# Add this to the above parameter if you have an application ID with Yahoo
 
# (Replace REPLACE_ME with your application ID)
 
# http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid=REPLACE_ME&url=
 
#
 
# No known Sitemap 'ping' URL for MSN/Live search
 
</pre>
 
Once you've enabled your sitemaps, they will be accessible at the following URLs:
 
 
 
*HTML Sitemaps: [dspace.url]/htmlmap
 
*Google (XML) Sitemaps: [dspace.url]/sitemap
 
 
 
For example you can view SUNScholar maps by clicking on the links below.
 
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/htmlmap
 
 
 
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/sitemap
 
 
 
==Robots==
 
See example below for an example '''robots.txt''' file.
 
<pre>
 
User-agent: *
 
# Disable access to Discovery search and filters
 
Disallow: /discover
 
Disallow: /search-filter
 
 
# This should be the FULL URL to your HTML Sitemap.
 
# Make sure to replace "[dspace.url]" with the value of your 'dspace.url' setting in your dspace.cfg file.
 
Sitemap: http://[dspace.url]/htmlmap
 
 
# If you have configured DSpace (Solr-based) Statistics to be publicly accessible,
 
# then you likely do not want this content to be indexed
 
# Disallow: /displaystats
 
 
# Uncomment the following line ONLY if sitemaps.org or HTML sitemaps are used
 
# and you have verified that your site is being indexed correctly.
 
# Disallow: /browse
 
 
# You also may wish to disallow access to the following paths, in order
 
# to stop web spiders from accessing user-based content:
 
# Disallow: /advanced-search
 
# Disallow: /contact
 
# Disallow: /feedback
 
# Disallow: /forgot
 
# Disallow: /login
 
# Disallow: /register
 
# Disallow: /search
 
</pre>

Back to Web Analytics

Introduction

It is very important that the research archive content is discovered and indexed by trusted external authorities.

At Stellenbosch University Library we also use Piwik to assist us with web statistics for our research archive.

Sitemaps

Robots

Google

Ranking

Research
