Paul Needham, Cranfield University Introducing the IRUSdata-UK pilot As the research environment and publication routes develop, we are seeing an increased importance placed on Open Access materials such as those available via institutional repositories. Institutional repositories enable an institution to share their research outputs with a wider audience and gain a clearer understanding of their organisational research profile. Depositing materials into the institutional repository is not the end point in the process though; what happens to the materials once they're available? This is where IRUS-UK can help. Paul Needham, Cranfield University Jisc Webinar – Wednesday 24th February 2016
IRUSdata-UK: aim Enable UK data repositories to create/share/expose usage statistics based on a global standard – COUNTER (http://www.projectcounter.org/) Statistics are produced on the same basis as scholarly publishers Following the COUNTER Code of Practice for e-Resources Raw download usage data is filtered to remove robots and double clicks Comparable, Reliable, Trustworthy, Authoritative
IRUSdata-UK: background PIRUS/PIRUS2 (2009 – 2011) Publisher and Institution Repository Usage Statistics project http://www.cranfieldlibrary.cranfield.ac.uk/pirus2/ Aimed to develop a global standard to enable the recording, reporting and consolidation of online usage statistics for individual journal articles hosted by Institutional Repositories, Publishers and others IRUS-UK (2012 - ) Institutional Repository Usage Statistics service Jisc-funded national aggregation service, providing COUNTER-compliant usage statistics for all types of content downloaded from participating UK institutional repositories IRUSdata-UK Data (of whatever type found in repositories)
IRUSdata-UK: how are data gathered and processed? Simple method to gather raw download data: when a download occurs, a message sent to the IRUS server with some basic details Accomplished by adding a small piece of code to repository software, which employs the ‘Tracker Protocol’ http://www.irus.mimas.ac.uk/help/toolbox/TrackerProtocol-V3-2014-04-22.pdf Implementation: Patches for DSpace (1.8.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x) and Plug-ins for Eprints (3.2.x or greater) Implementation guidelines for Fedora Advice on a case by case basis for other softwares
IRUSdata-UK: how are data gathered and processed? Raw data sent as OpenURL-like key/value pairs: 155.245.69.12 rft.artnum=oai%3Areshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk%3A850856 svc_dat=http%3A%2F%2Freshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk%2F850856%2F6%2FMayoral_London_2012_- _Yougov_P_Gibson_London_Post.pdf req_id=urn%3Aip%3A95.108.132.183 req_dat=Mozilla%2F5.0+(compatible%3B+YandexBot%2F3.0%3B+%2Bhttp%3A%2F%2Fyandex.com%2Fbots) rfr_id=reshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk url_tim=2015-11-19T10%3A29%3A13Z url_ver=Z39.88-2004 Suite of ingest scripts process daily logs containing raw data, following the COUNTER CoP, and insert COUNTER-compliant statistics into a relational database
IRUSdata-UK: how are stats exposed? Web User Interface - The IRUSdata-UK Portal Access currently behind authentication/authorisation challenge Initial set of views and reports, slicing and dicing stats from the IRUSdata database Reports can be downloaded as CSV/TSV files SUSHI service (http://www.niso.org/workrooms/sushi) SOAP service/XML Defines automated request and response model for harvesting e- resource usage data SUSHI Lite API (http://www.niso.org/workrooms/sushi/sushi_lite/) Restful(ish)/http get/JSON Allows retrieval of stats snippets to be embedded into Repository (and other) web pages

IRUSdata-UK: now and going forward As of now we have A method of collecting raw download data from data repositories Ingest procedures that convert raw data into COUNTER statistics 8 pilot repositories An initial, skeletal portal displaying statistics Going forward We are actively working to engage additional repositories to participate in the pilot A developer able to provide technical advice and assistance We’ll be developing extra views and reports and functionality based on stakeholder feedback as our understanding of requirements grows And ultimately (we hope!) a fully fledged service as part of the overall RDM initiative
Thank you! Any questions?
Become an IRUSdataUK test centre! What’s in it for you? Become an IRUSdataUK test centre! Be added to our list of centres to be supported in sending live data to IRUSdataUK! Access COUNTER-compliant download data and reports. For common platforms such as ePrints and dSpace this is very simple… … though we are very interested in more complex situations. 20/11/2018 Introducing the IRUSdataUK pilot
