The folks at bepress do a great job of eliminating bots from the usage numbers that we see for our institutions. The information in the webinar I watched was that they were finding that 62% of ALL the activity they were recording on their end came from bots, spiders, and the like. The other 38% consisted of real human users. The stats that we see through the Digital Commons Dashboard only reflect those human-interaction numbers. We don’t see the numbers for that other 62% on our end at all. The numbers we see in the Dashboard are what Digital Commons identifies as real, legitimate human users.
