Metadata management policy

The International & Comparative Human Rights Review implements a strict policy for the generation and management of metadata to ensure the correct description, interoperability, indexing, and global retrieval of all its published articles.

Standards and protocols:

The journal uses the Open Journal Systems platform, which structures metadata under the international Dublin Core Metadata Element Set standard. Furthermore, the platform exposes these data through the OAI-PMH protocol, allowing repositories, databases, and search engines to harvest the information in an automated manner.

Mandatory basic elements:

Each published article obligatorily includes the following identification and description metadata:

• Authorship metadata: Full name, institutional affiliation, country, and ORCID code of each author.
• Content metadata: Full title, abstract, and keywords in spanish and english.
• Identification metadata: Received and accepted dates, pagination, volume, and issue number of the journal in which it was published.
