Ingenta Partners With Google To Enable Full Text Indexing
Ingenta, the leading provider of online publishing services to academic and professional publishers, recently announced the successful implementation of full text indexing by Google, the popular and widely used Internet search-engine.
Recent work with Google to enhance indexing of Ingenta.com has seen usage jump dramatically, with Google referral traffic contributing to a record 5.4 million user sessions on Ingenta.com in April.
Since initial changes to their crawler (the “Googlebot”) in late February of 2004, Google has been indexing the freely available metadata on Ingenta.com at a rate of 20,000 to 30,000 pages per day, ensuring that article titles, keywords, author names and abstracts appear in search results for 5.4 million Google users.
As of March 2004, Ingenta has enabled full text access for the crawler, meaning all words in the article, not just the abstracts and keywords, are indexed and searchable on Google.
Although the crawler is authorized for full text access, all other users are subject to the usual Ingenta.com access control checks. If a Google user follows a search result that refers to text in the article itself, they will be presented with the abstract page on Ingenta.com and will either be authenticated for full text subscriber access by virtue of their IP address or username and password, or will be offered pay-per-view.
“We are extremely pleased to be working with Google to enhance the visibility of publishers’ content,” commented Kirsty Meddings, Ingenta Senior Product Manager. “Ingenta publishers already benefit from the widest third party distribution network within the industry, and now we are able to broadcast the availability of this key scholarly content to the huge global audience of Google searchers.”
