General statistics of OJS usage

Publishing Practices
1

Hi, I see that PKP reports worldwide usage statistics for OJS, on their social networks. Is it possible to fully access those statistics for research? How many OJS or OMP downloads are there per country? How many active? etc. Thank you.

Hi @Ppantaleo,

See: https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/OCZNVY

This tracks usage by querying OJS/OMP/OPS installations in the wild via their public OAI-OMH interfaces, not e.g. using downloads from the PKP website.

Hi @asmecher.
When running this code in R for year 2022, I see a drop. is this because 2022 is not yet complete in the repository?

Hi @Ppantaleo,

Yes, that’s because of the delay to publication.
