[Dspace-general] Statistics Issues and DSpace

[Angelo Miranda]

Hi,

 

I am from RepositoriUM team at University of Minho.

I am not sure if i understood your question.

Are you asking if the statistics add-on excludes the views and downloads
from crawler/robot and similar devices ?

If thats the question the answer is yes. The add-on has a mechanism for
ignoring those accesses.

 

Thank You

Angelo Miranda

Hello all,

The use of statistics for DSpace is an important part of our strategy to
increase deposits and we wish to protect the integrity of that information.

A quick question about the statistics element of DSpace, namely the add on
provided by Universidade do Minho
<http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Hypermail/Amsci/6086.html>

I wondered if there had been any issues or concerns in the collection and
processing of downloads and views for items on DSpace? This could be in the
form of retrieval robots, OAI harvesters, Google or the manipulation of
statistics.

Anyone got any news or info they'd like to share?

Thanks in advance
