Statistics for resources from the DBL

Question

Someone in our area has published a project to the DBL that is now available as a resource in Paratext. They were wondering whether it is possible to find out any statistics about the use of that particular resource in Paratext. Presumably they are interested in things like how many times the resource has been downloaded, etc. Are statistics like that available? What level of detail is available? Who would they talk to about getting those statistics? Thanks!

Answer 1

The short answer is that a DBL website user can get the download count information.

DBL users can visit the entry page for a resource to get the current count of the number of unique users who have downloaded a resource.

A tabular view of the DBL entries and resources should be available on DBL website in the next few weeks. However, there some functionality on an development server under Text > My Organization’s Paratext Resources
https://qa.thedigitalbiblelibrary.org/entries/managed_entries_pt_resource_status#
And this comes with a way to download the information in CSV, Copy, or Print

Keep in mind that this server only has a (month-old) snapshot of information of the production server and does not reflect current statistics.
