> Hello,
>
> we're currently initiating a small research exercise, where we try to
> analyse & compare number of repository visitors versus number of items,
> full-text, ... in the repository.
>
> Questions to figure out include:
>
> - Are more visits being generated when items contain full-text bitstreams,
> comparing to items without bitstreams
> - How do distributions between hits generated through search engines,
> referring sites and direct traffic relate to eachother, for different
> repositories.
> - How big is the impact of the dominant language, used in a repository & in
> item metadata on the number of visitors
>
> To make sure that "number of visitors" and other figures, are comparable,
> *we are looking for repositories that have (at least) six months of google
> analytics data (where the analytics script was included in the dspace
> footer, so that each pageview, or hit has been recorded), that are willing
> to share some key figures*.
>
> Our ambition is to detect possible correlations or anomalies. It would be
> great if a general conclusion could arise that a number of X items in your
> repository (in english) tend to generate a number of X monthly visits
> through search engines, but this might be a bit far-fetched (although a
> current comparison with 3 repositories already looks promising).
>
> Any questions or comments are greatly appreciated. Especially if you know
> of research that has already done this ;)
