Replication package for the dormant npm packages analysis

A Comprehensive Study of the Lifecycle and Impact of Dormant npm Packages

This repository represents a replication package for our paper on dormant npm packages.

This replication package requires Python 3.9+ to be installed.

These experiments were executed on a Linux Ubuntu OS.

This replication package contains:

- Data_preparation: contains notebooks where we prepare the data needed for the analysis.

- Analysis: contains notebooks where we analyze the data.

- figures: contains figures saved from the notebooks.

- data.zip: contains the datasets resulted after the data preparation. Note that these datasets are all transformations of the http://ecosyste.ms/ data.

- Gap qualitative analysis npm.xlsx: contains the results of the manual inspection of 54 packages.

To obtain the analysis used in the paper, one should execute ``jupyter notebook`` at the root of this replication package, and open the notebooks.
