some global metrics not working

[jcabot]

Total number of conferences and Average number of conferences per year show no value when I look at my own statistics

Total number of co-authors should show the distinct number of authors, not counting several times the same coauthor

[jcabot]

In fact, the total and average number of conf are irrelevant since we already have the values at the publication level

a new query is available in https://github.com/SOM-Research/metaScience/blob/v0.2.0/queries/query_author_metrics.sql to fix the total number of co-authors. You can also find there a query to calculate the "Total number of conferences" and "Average number of conferences per year" (if needed)

Current implementation seems to calculate such metrics programmatically in AuthorCoAuthorConnectionServlet.

Adding @rBoncorps to the loop...

[rBoncorps]

All the global metrics for authors are computed programmatically. The reason why number and average number of conferences per year where not displayed was because it xasn't possible (or easy) to compute them that way. So now that I have the queries, I'll be able to add them ! My mistake...

As I said in my first comment, I don´t see the need for "Total number of conferences" and "Average number of conferences per year". There´s little difference between these values and the same values for publications overall so I wouldn´t add them
