Dataset views & downloads provide a measure that researchers and other users found the dataset relevant to their work, and thus insights into data usage. The DataCite Usage Tracker allows data repositories to consistently report data views and downloads through a JavaScript tracker that collects web-based usage. The Usage Tracker automatically sends usage data to DataCite, which generates monthly usage reports for repositories.
