All the scientific production, formal and informal, draft or definitive, published or unpublished, should be available from a unique web site.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:
 
−
 
−
'''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>'''

Robots

See below for an example robots.txt file. 

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

HTML Head Metadata

If you have heavily customized your metadata fields away from Dublin Core, you can modify the crosswalk that generates these elements by modifying: 

[dspace]/config/crosswalks/xhtml-head-item.properties.
