Interoperability

INTEROPERABILITY AND MACHINE ACCESS

Arte y Ciudad. Revista de Investigación is committed to the interoperability principles that enable the discovery, harvesting and reuse of its content by libraries, aggregators, academic search engines and bibliometric services.

OAI-PMH

The journal exposes an access point compliant with the OAI-PMH 2.0 protocol (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting), the reference standard for metadata harvesting by digital libraries and scholarly journal aggregators.

Public endpoint: https://www.arteyciudad.com/revista/ayc/oai

The repository exposes metadata from July 2014 onwards and includes all the journal's publications, with persistent deletion of retracted records.

Supported OAI-PMH verbs:

1) Identify — repository information.

2) ListMetadataFormats — available metadata formats.

3) ListSets — available sets (sections).

4) ListIdentifiers — list of identifiers.

5) ListRecords — list of complete records.

6) GetRecord — retrieval of an individual record.

Metadata formats

The repository exposes metadata in the following formats:

— Dublin Core (oai_dc) — base format required for OAI-PMH, compatible with most aggregators.

— MARC21 (oai_marc) — for harvesting by libraries with MARC catalogues.

— MODS (mods) — Metadata Object Description Schema, an enriched alternative to Dublin Core.

— RFC1807 — traditional bibliographic format for technical reports.

— JATS XML (jats) — Journal Article Tag Suite, the NLM/NISO standard for structured representation of scholarly articles with complete metadata (authors, affiliations, ORCID, abstract, keywords, bibliographic references).

Full-text galleys

Since April 2026, all published articles are available in three reading formats:

— PDF — original article format as typeset by the authors.

— JATS XML — full text structured in XML conforming to the JATS 1.3 standard (NLM/NISO). Includes article body segmented into sections, bibliographic references with DOIs, footnotes, and figures. These files enable full-text harvesting by Google Scholar, OpenAlex, BASE, CORE, and other indexing services.

— HTML — web version of the article optimized for browser reading, accessibility, and mobile devices.

Crossref

Each published article has its corresponding metadata record deposited in Crossref with a permanent DOI (institutional prefix 10.22530). These metadata are publicly queryable via the Crossref API and are automatically harvested by services such as Google Scholar, Dimensions, Lens, OpenAlex, BASE and CORE.

Syndication

The journal publishes syndication feeds in Atom, RSS 2.0 and RSS 1.0 formats, allowing readers and aggregators to automatically receive editorial updates.

Persistent identifiers

Each article receives a DOI registered with Crossref, and authors are encouraged to provide their ORCID to ensure persistent attribution of their scientific output.
