OpenAthens Ideas Portal

We're always looking for ways to improve our products, and we'd love your input to help us make that happen. Your suggestions will guide us in deciding where we should focus our future research and development.

Here’s how the portal is organised:

  • Librarians (Identity Providers): Share ideas that help organisations that manage user identities and provide access to online content and services. This includes improving the experience for students and researchers.

  • Publishers (Service Providers): Share ideas for organisations that offer content and services.

MyAthens+ Web analytics / statistics

To help research and understand user behaviour, it would be great if MyAthens+ recorded some basic web analytics data such as link clicks/search box usage. Ideally categorised by user attributes (like other OpenAthens statistics) while preserving user privacy.

Enabling use of third-party analytics packages e.g. Matomo or Google Analytics would be one way of achieving this.
