OAI-PMH
Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)
The Journal of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine (JCCM) is committed to open access and interoperability, ensuring that research in cardiology and cardiovascular medicine is widely discoverable. We support the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), allowing seamless integration with indexing services, digital repositories, and other scholarly platforms.
What is OAI-PMH?
The OAI-PMH is a protocol developed by the Open Archives Initiative that enables the harvesting of metadata from digital repositories. This standard facilitates the exchange and aggregation of scholarly content across multiple platforms, enhancing the accessibility and visibility of research publications.
By implementing OAI-PMH, JCCM ensures that our articles are easily discoverable by search engines, institutional repositories, and open-access databases.
OAI-PMH Base URL
Our OAI-PMH service is available at the following base URL:
OAI Base URL: https://www.cardiologymedjournal.com/jccm/oai
This URL can be used by metadata harvesters to access article metadata in various formats such as Dublin Core (DC), Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS), and MARCXML.
Supported Metadata Formats
JCCM's OAI-PMH service supports the following metadata formats:
- oai_dc (Dublin Core): Standard metadata format for bibliographic records.
- marcxml: Library metadata format used in cataloging.
- mods: XML-based metadata standard developed by the Library of Congress.
- oai_datacite: Metadata format for research data citation.
- rfc1807: Early bibliographic metadata format.
These formats ensure interoperability with academic databases, library catalogs, and citation indexing services.
How to Use OAI-PMH
To access metadata from JCCM using OAI-PMH, data harvesters can use the following query examples:
- List available metadata formats:

Why OAI-PMH Matters?
The adoption of OAI-PMH by JCCM ensures:
- Enhanced discoverability: Articles indexed in global repositories.
- Wider research impact: Increased citations and readership.
- Interoperability: Seamless metadata exchange across digital libraries.
- Compliance with open-access mandates: Supports institutions and funding agencies.
