Sitemap

For better indexing and discoverability of your VIVO installation, a sitemap generator is included - in this release, only profile pages are included in the sitemap.

Additional SEO Considerations

The University of California San Francisco has done considerable work on SEO for research networking systems.  They have compared VIVO installations to other systems, and provided guidelines for enhancing SEO.  We strongly recommend sites implement as many of their recommendations as possible to boost their SEO for their scholars and their works.
