Interoperability protocols

Interoperability Protocols Policy

JBAS adopts internationally recognized interoperability protocols and standards, aiming to increase the visibility, dissemination, retrieval, and preservation of published scientific content.

The journal uses the OAI-PMH protocol (Open Archives Initiative – Protocol for Metadata Harvesting), which allows for the automated collection of metadata by indexing services, repositories, digital libraries, and scientific information systems.

The metadata of published articles is made available in a structured and standardized way, including information such as title, authorship, institutional affiliation, abstract, keywords, and publication data, favoring interoperability with national and international databases.

JBAS is committed to keeping its metadata updated, consistent, and accessible, observing best practices in standardization and interoperability, in order to guarantee correct indexing, efficient information retrieval, and integration with scientific preservation and dissemination systems.

Whenever applicable, the journal may adopt other interoperability standards and services compatible with OJS, aiming to improve integration with indexers, institutional repositories, and scientific communication platforms.
