Typed Properties Specification (9 Fields)

Key Schema.org properties and sub-objects required to qualify for rich snippet treatment in Google Search.

PropertyExpected TypeStatusDescription & Example
headlinestringRequired

Official title of the academic research paper.

e.g. Asymptotic Convergence of Hybrid Semantic Vector Indexing in Real-Time Web Crawlers
peerReviewedbooleanRequired

Boolean indicating whether the article underwent formal peer-review before publication.

e.g. true
identifierPropertyValueRequired

Digital Object Identifier (DOI) or arXiv ID uniquely identifying the academic publication.

e.g. { '@type': 'PropertyValue', 'propertyID': 'DOI', 'value': '10.1145/...' }
isPartOfPublicationIssueRequired

Journal volume, issue number, and parent Periodical metadata.

e.g. { '@type': 'PublicationIssue', 'issueNumber': '4', 'isPartOf': { '@type': 'Periodical', 'name': '...' } }
pageStartstringRecommended

Starting page number in the printed journal edition.

e.g. 142
pageEndstringRecommended

Ending page number in the printed journal edition.

e.g. 168
authorPerson[]Required

Academic researchers with university affiliations and ORCID identifiers.

e.g. [ { '@type': 'Person', 'name': 'Dr. Maya Lin', 'sameAs': 'https://orcid.org/...' } ]
publisherOrganizationRequired

Academic society or scientific publishing house.

e.g. { '@type': 'Organization', 'name': 'ACM Computing Press' }
descriptionstringRequired

Executive abstract summarizing research methodology and key empirical findings.

e.g. A theoretical and empirical proof of sub-millisecond nearest neighbor convergence.

Google Search Console Pitfalls & Critical Warnings

Avoid these 3 common validation traps, parser errors, and algorithmic policy penalties when deploying ScholarlyArticle schema.

errorPitfall #1

Missing DOI Identifier or ArXiv ID Property

Omitting the identifier DOI PropertyValue on scientific papers.

GSC Impact:
Google Scholar and academic indexers fail to link citations and bibliographic references.
Actionable Fix:

Always include a PropertyValue node with propertyID: 'DOI' and the official DOI string.

warningPitfall #2

Unspecified peerReviewed Boolean Flag

Leaving peerReviewed undefined on formal journal publications.

GSC Impact:
Loss of peer-review trust badge in academic search filters.
Actionable Fix:

Explicitly declare 'peerReviewed': true for reviewed journal manuscripts.

errorPitfall #3

Omitted Periodical / Journal Issue Context (isPartOf)

Treating the paper as a standalone web page without journal citation context.

GSC Impact:
Inability to generate complete APA / IEEE bibliographic citations in search engines.
Actionable Fix:

Nest isPartOf with PublicationIssue and Periodical names including ISSN.

Recommended Implementation Scenarios

University research laboratory publication repositories
Scientific journal and open-access publisher article pages
Conference proceedings and symposium presentation archives
Corporate R&D whitepaper and patent-adjacent research hubs
