For developers and indexers

Machine endpoints

Everything the site offers to software rather than people: harvesting, feeds, sitemaps, citation files and metadata tags.

Endpoint	Address	Who uses it	Notes
OAI-PMH	/oai?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&set=jcs /oai?verb=Identify	Harvesters and library catalogues	OAI-PMH 2.0. Formats oai_dc and jats (the article’s front matter); one set per journal, named by its code; 100 records or 500 identifiers a response, with a resumption token. Dates are publication dates; no deleted records.
Sitemaps and robots	/robots.txt /sitemap.xml /sitemap-site.xml /sitemap-<journal>.xml	Search engines	Made on request and kept for an hour. The index lists the site’s own sitemap and one sitemap a journal (its articles and their full text pages, newest first).
RSS feeds	/feed/recently_published.rss /feed/<journal>/current.rss /feed/<journal>/issue-<n>.rss /feed/announcements.rss	Readers, aggregators	Five site-wide feeds: recently published, most cited, most viewed and most downloaded (RSS 1.0 with Dublin Core and PRISM fields) and announcements (RSS 2.0). Each journal has the same four plus its current issue, and every issue its own feed.
Citation export	/citation/<suffix>/ris /citation/<suffix>/bibtex /search/export?ids[]=…&format=ris /search/pdfs?ids[]=…	Reference managers	One article, or up to 200 ticked search results in one file (RIS or BibTeX); up to 20 PDFs in one zip.
PDF and files	/<journal>/<suffix>.pdf /files/html/<suffix>/…	Readers, Google Scholar	Published PDFs and full-text pictures only. A PDF counts one download a day per address; old PDF addresses redirect, with a canonical Link header; byte ranges are answered.
RePEc	/RePEc/abk/ /RePEc/abk/jajeba/<suffix>.rdf	IDEAS / RePEc	American Journal of Economics and Business Administration only.
Scholar and metadata tags	<meta name="citation_"> Dublin Core (DC.) Open Graph and Twitter cards JSON-LD ScholarlyArticle	Google Scholar, social previews	In the head of every article page.
Unsubscribe	/unsubscribe/<code> /alerts/end/<token> /alerts/manage/<token>	Email recipients	One click. The code link stops the office’s contact emails; the alert links stop or change email alerts. Each confirms on a plain page.
