I wrote customised statistics for the four repositories that I'm looking after. Three of these are publicly available: http://otago.ourarchive.ac.nz/stats http://researchcommons.waikato.ac.nz/stats http://unitec.researchbank.ac.nz/stats These links go to the statistics pages for the entire repository, which include top author statistics; statistics pages for each author are also available (and linked from the main statistics page). My customisations build on the solr-based statistics that were introduced with DSpace 1.6. I customised these quite heavily; the most important addition for author statistics is that the authors of an item are included in the data posted to solr for item page views and file downloads. That way, I can then query solr for all item page views / file downloads for a given author in the same way as it's possible in the default solr stats to query for all item page views / file downloads in a given collection etc. There are drawbacks to including author data directly in the statistics data. The alternative is something similar to what Peter Dietz described in his response over on dspace-tech: get all of an author's item ids (maybe from discovery, if you want to stick to solr) and then query by those. I'm happy to share more technical details of my customisations if you or anyone else is interested. cheers, Andrea -- Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
