  4. convoluted process
    1. Process the PKP website logs for referrer URLs that ‘look like’ OJS
    journals
    2. Attempt to contact the OAI PMH URL corresponding to the journal
    URL (following known OJS URL patterns) to verify if it is an OJS
    journal
    3. Save the repository identifier, I.P. address, OJS version number
    4. Identify all the journals for this installation using the OAI verb
    “ListSets”
    5. Save the journal name, and journal contact email address from the
    OAI response for later use
    6. Add known OJS OAI URLs to an instance of the PKP Harvester
    7. Look up the journal’s country
    8. Collect the article metadata for every journal using OAI PMH
    9. Process the article data to identify number of articles published per
    year, the country of origin of the journal, etc.
