<br>
</span></span></font><font style="font-size: 12pt" size="3"><span><b><span style="background: transparent">I am currently conducting a study on the consultation of data available in online data repositories and databases.
</span></b></span></font><font style="font-size: 12pt" size="3"><span><span style="background: transparent">The aim of this study is to understand what role repositories play in the reuse of data and how users have appropriated them.<br>

<br>
I would need, as far as possible, the most accurate records you have.<br>
The information I would ideally like to know is as follows:</span></span></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 12pt" size="3"><span><b><span style="background: transparent">- The evolution of this number (hits and/or downloads) over months or even years between 2015 and 2020.</span></b></span></font><font style="font-size: 12pt" size="3"><span><span style="background: transparent"><br>
However, if you cannot or do not wish to provide me with detailed information for each dataset, I am also interested in more aggregated data.<br>
<br>
</span></span></font><font style="font-size: 12pt" size="3"><span><b><span style="background: transparent">In addition, could you summarize in a few w</span></b></span></font><font style="font-size: 12pt" size="3"><span><b><span style="background: transparent">ords</span></b></span></font><font style="font-size: 12pt" size="3"><span><b><span style="background: transparent">

If the files you want to send me are too numerous or too large to be sent by email, I can suggest you the open source solution Framadrop (the submission procedure is attached).<br>
