Hi,
I have a question about article view stats on my OJS. When the OJS was upgraded from 2.3.7 to 2.4.6. would the data for total views have been lost? In looking at individual stats for articles under VIEW column, they seem far too low. how can I recover it from previous version?
Basically the old views are not lost, but they are deprecated. You can still access that old data from the stats reports, but you will not see them anymore anywhere else.
I found this thread similar to my situation. Do you mean “OJS usage statistics report” by stats reports? I only get stats since the month of the upgrade and nothing before it.
There are multiple legacy stats (see @beghelli’s earlier link for details) . The type “ojs::legacyDefault” was driving the original question, and is now found in the “View Report”.
The “OJS usage statistics report” now uses the new COUNTER-ready metrics behind the scenes. The earlier link describes the migration process which is intended to bring the legacy statistics forward into the new COUNTER-ready metric. Did you follow that process earlier?
