Hi,
I am working on a plugin that would show public site level statistics.
What I have in mind is a page that would show numbers like how many journals we have, how many articles they have published, how many issues published, how many downloads of full texts in total, what is the most popular content, which are the most read journals etc.
My question is, what kind of data would you expect to see in a statistics page like this? My thinking is that I do not so much want to create a public tool for browsing the complete data but more a selected overview of some key numbers.
I have simple beta version of the plugin available here for OJS 3.4: GitHub - tsv-fi/siteStatistics: OJS plugin for creating a site level public statistics page
Any feedback is welcome, especially when it comes to the loading times of the page. It has a 24 hour cache, but the initial fetching of the data could prove to be a problem in larger installations.
