Front page statistics
On Kotka front page, a simple graph is shown to illustrate the growth of specimen amounts in Kotka during the past 10 months. It is based on date created and shows the number of documents (not units).
To acknowledge the work of people digitising and entering data to Kotka, statistics are shown for
- 10 most active Kotka users of all time
- 10 most active Kotka users this year
- 10 most active Kotka users this month
These are based on the numbers of added specimens (uses automatic data from MZCreator and MZDateCreated).
Search page statistics
On Kotka searches, the filters on the left hand side show some statistics for fields and values in fields. After the filter heading, the number tells the number of distinct values in the field. For amounts under 10000 the number is accurate (see e.g. status in the image below). For numbers over 10000 the number is an estimate (see e.g. taxon in the image below).
Under the filter heading, there are the values that exists in the field. The number after a value is the number how many times it appears in Kotka in the field in question, for those specimens that are included in the search (e.g. "Donated (703)" or "Lemmus lemmus (13933)" in the image below).
