In my earlier posting ("2006 Digital-Scholarship Use Statistics"), I explained why my publications were mounted on three different servers in 2006. The SEPB use statistics reported here do not add new requests to the numbers previously reported for Digital-Scholarship.Com (1,734,415 requests) or Digital-Scholarship.Org (27,304 requests).

Let’s start with the University of Houston server (I use analog for analysis). There were 1,045,270 successful requests for SEPB files, 2,863 average successful requests per day, 891,366 successful requests for pages, and 2,442 average successful requests for pages per day. (A request is for any type of file; a page request is for a content file, such as an HTML, PDF, or Word file). These requests came from 65,428 distinct host computers.

The requests came from 136 Internet domains. Leaving aside requests from unresolved numerical addresses, the top 15 domains were: .com (Commercial), .net (Networks), .edu (USA Higher Education), .cz (Czech Republic), .ca (Canada), .jp (Japan), .de (Germany), .uk (United Kingdom), .au (Australia), .nl (Netherlands), .org (Non Profit Making Organizations), .ch (Switzerland), .it (Italy), .hu (Hungary), and .in (India). At the bottom were domains such as .aw (Aruba), .bt (Bhutan), .rw (Rwanda), .sc (Seychelles), and .pg (Papua New Guinea).

This is the last time that use statistics will be reported for the University of Houston server, which has an archive up to version 64.

Use statistics for Digital-Scholarship.Com cover November through December. There were 89,058 successful requests and 84,119 successful requests for pages.

Use statistics for Digital-Scholarship.Org cover part of December. There were 22,144 requests and 17,627 requests for pages for the entire domain, but the number of pages and requests for SEPB only could not be determined. (Analysis was done with Webalizer.)

There had previously been over 5.5 million successful requests for SEPB files.
