How Can Be Used

{{ 'The service has to be enabled for the repository. This step results in the generation of two unique identifiers:' | titlecase }}

• a Matomo-ID that associates the repository with its usage events in Matomo platform;
• an authentication-ID that allows to track usage activity on the Matomo platform.

After the generation of the identifiers the repository manager has to perform the following steps:

1. Download the tracking code for the repository platform. The code is maintained on Github:

• as a patch for various versions of DSpace ( https://github.com/openaire/OpenAIRE-Piwik-DSpace )
• as an Eprints plugin for version 3 ( https://github.com/openaire/EPrints-OAPiwik )
• as a python script for all other cases ( https://github.com/openaire/Generic-Matomo-Tracker )

A notification e-mail will be sent to inform the repository administrator that the installation of the tracking code has been validated and when the usage statistics will be available in the OpenAIRE Content Provider Dashboard .
