The best suggestion is to improve this is to use the tag in each HTML page.  Currently, for journal articles, they all just say "Article Abstract".  The same is true for TOC pages. With millions of pages to scan, search engines look for the highest level of information to index.  Generally, <TITLE> tags are number 1; <META> tags number 2; text on the page number 3. We are currently looking into various solutions:         - All TOC pages include publication title in <TITLE> and <META> tags         - All Content pages include article or chapter title in <TITLE> and <META> tags We will keep you updated on the progress to improve the visibility of CPE. Hope this helps. Kind Regards, Birgit
