[06:28:51] <Nemo_bis>	 Does NIH have some reporting deadlines in April and November? I see there are almost always spikes in pageviews to [[PMC]] https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=1&start=2017-01&end=2020-03&pages=PubMed_Central
[17:03:44] <leila>	 gilles: what are the major conferences for web performance research these days?
[17:04:29] <leila>	 I'm thinking of the research tracks for thewebconf (www), for context.
[17:47:21] <isaacj>	 Nemo_bis: i'd guess just the usual school-related seasonality (for example, students looking for pubmed central for class projects) but that's pure conjecture
[18:02:57] <Nemo_bis>	 isaacj: thanks, I agree for the decline in June-August but is there really such a concerted increase in class projects/exams all in the same months in USA? 
[18:05:22] <Nemo_bis>	 Hmmmm https://grants.nih.gov/grants/how-to-apply-application-guide/due-dates-and-submission-policies/due-dates.htm
[18:39:37] <isaacj>	 based on the clickstream data (https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/clickstream/readme.html) most of the traffic is labeled as other-empty, which generally either means a bot or clicks from an app/email
[18:41:48] <isaacj>	 this is April 2019:

[18:42:08] <isaacj>	 Nemo_bis: ^^
[18:43:04] <isaacj>	 that's where my research capabilities end though :) so probably still unanswered
[18:46:20] <Nemo_bis>	 isaacj: oh wow, thanks for taking the time to extract it :) 
[19:06:53] <isaacj>	 Nemo_bis: happily -- i've done this for a few other things so have my quick workflow for investigating. plus, i like championing the clickstream dumps
