Google Analytics and contents visibility of DSpace 7.6

[Sylvester Chikoti]

I am writing to express two concerns: First, does DSpace 7.6 support Google Analytics? Since Universal Analytics is no longer working. Secondly, how can one capture DSpace 7.6 visibility in terms of how many times a certain item was downloaded or cited? Also, so many items of my dspace are not indexed on Google Scholar, is there any way to speed up the Google Scholar indexing process?

Hi,

Yes, DSpace 7 supports Google Analytics.  See the docs at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/DSpace+Google+Analytics+Statistics

Regarding Google Scholar, you would likely need to talk with their support team to get better advice.  DSpace 7 supports indexing from Google Scholar, but there's no way to request Google Scholar to reindex or speed up indexing without talking to the folks at Google Scholar.
