Claudia Jürgen commented on DS-600:
-----------------------------------
I agree with Tim, this would be more intuitive and should be used for the total
visit count and the views per country/city.
These views atm only refer to item views not bitstream downloads.
Did some checks on our real data, most of the accesses are direct bitstream
retrievals.

> Key: DS-600
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-600
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Solr
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 1.6.1
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
>
> This comes out of a conversation with Claudia Juergen on IRC.
> Currently, in 1.6.1, the following Stats are captured:
> Visits -- total views of Item splash page only
> Visits per Month
> File Downloads -- file download stats
> Top Country Visits
> Top City Visits
> The oddity in those reports is that most of the statistics only detail
> information about views of the Item splash page. As Google often provides
> users with direct links to download files, the stats report will sometimes
> end up looking very "odd" to normal users. As any example, here's a sample
> stats report from an item in Claudia's repository:
> Total Visits - 5
> File Downloads - 300
> This looks odd to many users -- why has this item only been visited 5 times,
> but downloaded 300 times? The reality is that many users jumped straight to
> downloading the file(s) as Google provided them with a direct link to the
> files. So, although these stats may be correct, they look odd as the numbers
> don't seem to total up properly.
> I'd propose we change the definitely of what a "Visit" means, so that these
> statistics make more sense overall. For example, redefining it as follows:
> Visit = Item Views + File Downloads (it would be also nice to potentially
> split out *how* many of the visits are Item Views, and how many come from
> File downloads)
> So, in that way, using the above example, you'd have a stats report more like:
> Total Visits - 305 (5 Item Views, 300 File Downloads)
> File Downloads - would still detail individual file downloads, totaling up
> to 300
> It'd also be nice to count File Downloads as part of the "Total Visits per
> month", "Top Country Visits", and "Top City Visits". That way all the
> totals would match up better, and you'd also have a better sense of where the
> files were being downloaded from (and how many downloads happened in the last
> month).
