We report in this paper a further investigation on the thermodynamic and transport properties, and an assessment of theoretical calculations, for the BiS₂-layered Bi₃O₂S₃ superconductor. The polycrystalline sample is synthesized with a superconducting transition temperature of T_c^onset=5.75K and T_c^zero=4.03K (≈Tc^mag) that drops to 3.3 K by applying a hydrostatic pressure of 6 kbar. Density-of-states (DOS) calculations give substantial hybridization between Bi, O, and S, with Bi the largest component of DOS, which supports the idea that the BiS₂ layer is relevant for producing electron-phonon coupling. An analysis of previously published specific heat data for Bi₃O₂S₃ is additionally suggestive of a strong electron-phonon interaction in the Bi-O-S system. The analysis of the Seebeck coefficient results strongly suggests that Bi₃O₂S₃ is a semimetal. In fact, we found the semimetallic or narrow band gap behavior may occur in certain other materials in the BiS₂-layered class of materials, such as Bi₄O₄S₃.
