OAI-PMH
Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)
The Journal of Stem Cell Therapy and Transplantation (JSCTT) is committed to the open dissemination of pioneering research in stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and transplantation science. To enhance accessibility and global discoverability, JSCTT adopts the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), allowing seamless metadata retrieval by academic repositories, indexing services, and digital libraries.
What is OAI-PMH?
The OAI-PMH is a widely recognized framework that enables structured metadata harvesting from open-access journals. By integrating this protocol, JSCTT ensures that its published research is systematically indexed, enhancing visibility and readership worldwide.
OAI-PMH Base URL
Our OAI-PMH metadata repository is available at:
OAI Base URL: https://www.stemcelltherjournal.org/jsctt/oai
This base URL allows researchers, indexing services, and repositories to access metadata in various structured formats such as Dublin Core (DC), MODS, and MARCXML.
Supported Metadata Formats
The Journal of Stem Cell Therapy and Transplantation supports multiple metadata formats, ensuring compatibility with global research archives and digital repositories:
- oai_dc (Dublin Core): Standardized metadata format for broad interoperability.
- marcxml: Metadata structure commonly used in academic libraries.
- mods: XML-based format for bibliographic metadata.
- oai_datacite: Metadata format for research data citation.
- rfc1807: Legacy metadata format for structured harvesting.
These formats ensure streamlined integration with digital archives and scholarly databases worldwide.
How to Use OAI-PMH
Researchers and metadata harvesters can access JSCTT content using the following OAI-PMH queries:
- Retrieve available metadata formats:
https://www.stemcelltherjournal.org/jsctt/oai?verb=ListMetadataFormats
- List available journal sets:
https://www.stemcelltherjournal.org/jsctt/oai?verb=ListSets
- Retrieve metadata for a specific article:

Benefits of OAI-PMH Integration
The implementation of OAI-PMH in JSCTT provides several advantages:
- Enhanced global reach: Indexed articles gain increased visibility.
- Higher citation potential: Easy discoverability boosts citations.
- Compliance with open-access mandates: Meets funding and institutional requirements.
- Seamless integration with research networks: Supports repositories like PubMed, DOAJ, and institutional archives.
