QU Press Open Journal System OAI-PMH API
Qatar University Press self-hosts Open Journal Systems 3.3.0.7 at journals.qu.edu.qa and exposes an anonymous OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint, site-wide and per journal. It identifies as "QU Press Open Journal System", adminEmail mjaberi@qu.edu.qa, earliest datestamp 2017-12-26, deletedRecord persistent, with gzip and deflate compression declared, four dissemination formats, 100 sets across eight journals in Arabic and English, and completeListSize 3,186. This is the institution's own OAI-PMH conformance — QSpace's is its hosting platform's. One serious defect: the endpoint emits identifiers in the PKP shipped-default namespace (oai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/N) that its own GetRecord verb rejects as malformed, so round-trip harvesting is broken. The adjacent OJS REST API returns 403 to the public.
