5. 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.

6. IRUSdata-UK: aim
Enable UK data repositories to create/share/expose usage statistics based on a global standard – COUNTER (
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

7. IRUSdata-UK: background
PIRUS/PIRUS2 (2009 – 2011)
Publisher and Institution Repository Usage Statistics project
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 ( )
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)

8. 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’
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

9. IRUSdata-UK: how are data gathered and processed?
Raw data sent as OpenURL-like key/value pairs:
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_dat=Mozilla%2F5.0+(compatible%3B+YandexBot%2F3.0%3B+%2Bhttp%3A%2F%2Fyandex.com%2Fbots)
rfr_id=reshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk
url_tim= T10%3A29%3A13Z  
url_ver=Z
Suite of ingest scripts process daily logs containing raw data, following the COUNTER CoP, and insert COUNTER-compliant statistics into a relational database

10. 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 (
SOAP service/XML
Defines automated request and response model for harvesting e- resource usage data
SUSHI Lite API (
Restful(ish)/http get/JSON
Allows retrieval of stats snippets to be embedded into Repository (and other) web pages

25. 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

26. Thank you! Any questions?

27. 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.
