Project
August 2013 - Project begins“Implement author-level, article-level, and aggregated article download usage statistics for articles in the Open Access Articles Collection in DSpace@MIT to incentivize deposits and provide useful assessment information for the MIT Faculty Open Access Policy.”

• Apache logs• Python• DSpace• GeoIP• SOLR
June 11, 2015Matthew Bernhardt Open Repositories 2015
Pipeline
Start from Apache server logs
● Filter the qualifying downloads● Look up the downloaded paper● Augment with additional information● Store in MongoDB● Use SOLR to build summary collection
UI queries summary collection

Pipeline challenges - authors
Author identities● Field-specific naming conventions
“Abelson, Hal”“Abelson, H”“Hal Abelson”
● Common names, similar people“J Smith”“Alex Slocum”

Email to authors
Dear {name}, Thank you for sharing your scholarly articles through the open repository DSpace@MIT <https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/49433/>, in association with the MIT Faculty Open Access Policy <https://libraries.mit.edu/oapolicy>. Our newly implemented OA Stats Service provides data about the use and reach of our open access collection. Since August 2010, 15,184 articles have been downloaded from 227 different countries. This service also provides information at the author and article level: Your {count_articles} articles have been downloaded {count_downloads} times since they were deposited, from {count_countries} different countries. You can access more detailed download information about your articles, including per-article and per-country downloads at <https://oastats.mit.edu>. Initially, we plan to provide this information to all authors via email in the Fall and Spring semesters. As we seek to improve the service, we'll consider expanding options to interact with it and the underlying data. We are anxious to hear your feedback on how this service can be most useful to you, so please send your suggestions to [email protected]. --From the MIT Libraries

Faculty reception
Excitement● “Thank you for the update, this is a fantastic tool!!”● “Thanks so much for doing this - it's really cool and awesome!”
Why not more?● “Hi, I like your feedback. But I am puzzled that only one of my articles is in
your database.”● Department heads using this as leverage to encourage further
contributions

Project goals revisited
• Make available download statistics at three levels: author, article, and aggregate
• Incentivize deposits to collection• Provide useful information for policy evaluation
• Evaluate new technologies within the Libraries (i.e. MongoDB)
June 11, 2015Matthew Bernhardt Open Repositories 2015
Future work
● Automate the pipeline● Run pipeline more frequently● Ditch Mongo for something relational● Talk to faculty about making more detailed information
public● Add functionality to UI (more export formats, SPA)● Improve cataloging in DSpace@MIT with lookup
services
