Implement Backend Support for Make Data Count use and citation metrics

[adam3smith]

Following up on the google group discussion here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/dataverse-community/rQWNllAyTu0

Dataverse should support and display Make Data Count (https://makedatacount.org/) - standardized usage metrics

Slides and QA from recent (July 2018) webinar here: https://makedatacount.org/presentations/

Here are detailed guidelines for implementation: https://github.com/CDLUC3/Make-Data-Count/blob/master/getting-started.md

Here are steps to implement from the project from an earlier presentation

• Process your usage logs following the MDC Code of Practice.

  • There is pre-print describing everything you need to do: https://peerj.com/preprints/26505/
  • The Dash repository has already developed an open source implementation of the log processing capabilities needed. Here it is the Dash How-to-Guideline: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LNlPsdBUdHnE40RePsr1ipRj9DH6G_W8pbOU19JIs9I/edit#heading=h.lodhpsa1knkj

• Read the documentation of the Data Usage API in order to prepare usage metrics reports.

  • There is a small guide in: https://github.com/datacite/sashimi and
  • Live API reference in https://support.datacite.org/v1.1/reference#metrics-api

• Request DataCite for your credentials to push usage metrics to the Data Usage API.

• Push your usage metrics.Thank you for contributing an issue to the Dataverse Project!

Turns it out was a dev box issue, not an api token (https://github.com/datacite/sashimi/issues/56) . I was able to submit to the test box with our current api token, so this is unblocked.
