1. Repository Statistics University of Sussex
Chris Keene - Technical Development Manager

2. Quick background
Repository is the source of publication metadata; no CRIS
Also: Open Access, now thanks to RCUK/HEFCE
Relaunched in 2012 as a University service

3. the four factors of statistics

4. One
Statistics vs data

5. Two
metadata vs full text

6. How much is being added to the repository vs research output
Three
How much is being added to the repository vs research output
(added date vs published date)

7. Four
what is in the repository vs how much is it being used

8. How Advanced search & browse (eprints) IRSTAT SQL IRUS
Google Analytics
Awstats
Cognos

9. Advanced Search
Data out
i.e. publication lists

11. SQL Data out. Management reporting (totals)
Public usage of site (records and full text)

12. SQL
SELECT e.eprintid, e.type, e.date_year as "Year published",concat(datestamp_day, "/", datestamp_month, "/", datestamp_year) as "Date added to sro", e.title, a.subjectid, s.name_name as "Department", e.ispublished, e.eprint_status, e.id_number as "DOI",e.issn, e.volume, e.number as "Issue", e.pagerange, e.pages, e.type, e.publication, e.publisher
FROM eprint e
LEFT OUTER JOIN eprint_divisions d ON e.eprintid = d.eprintid
LEFT OUTER JOIN subject_name_name s ON d.divisions = s.subjectid
LEFT OUTER JOIN subject_ancestors a ON d.divisions = a.subjectid
LEFT OUTER JOIN subject_name_name t ON a.ancestors = t.subjectid
WHERE eprint_status = "archive"
and a.pos = 1
and t.subjectid = "s3502"
and e.date_year = "2013"
and e.ispublished="pub"

13. SQL Who uses it? Any other way of getting data out?
Very flexible way of exporting to excel
Can be used to create local web reports
Requires some technical know how.
(example tools or PHPmyadmin )

14. Google Analytics Public usage of the system Accessing records
De facto standard
Consistent reporting across systems and services
Audience, source (referrer), devices, search terms, etc

21. IRUS Download statistics Compare with others
A standard way of collecting statistics with active support in improving accuracy
(Web stats are always an art)
Everyone should use it

24. irus - low stats not just a driver for the library
but as a university as a whole
(academics, marketing, etc)

25. University data warehouse
University committee/management reporting
Brings together many systems.
So connects items with full ‘person’ record.
Plus research and financial data.
Different numbers for schools (due to who it includes)

26. Annual reporting www.sussex.ac.uk/library/sro (link on right)
Publication outputs or repository activity?
Downloads. Do they care about ‘system usage’? (ie Google analytics)
