King Abdulaziz University Journals (Digital Commons tenancy) is one of 7 APIs that [King Abdulaziz University](https://apis.io/providers/kau/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, OAI-PMH, Journals, and Open Access.

KAU's Scientific Publishing Centre journals delivered on Elsevier's Digital Commons (bepress) platform, with a fully working OAI-PMH 2.0 data provider carrying records back to 2000-01-19. This is the single most machine-readable surface associated with the university and it is deliberately NOT credited to it: the relationship is recorded, the vendor's contract is not saved. KAU holds a distinct Crossref membership for this platform (member 53473, "King Abdulaziz University - DIGITAL COMMONS JOURNALS") alongside its own membership 2709.
