Freshness Score Analysis from Different Perspectives in Maven Ecosystem

The freshness score is a critical metric in dependency management. It reflects how recently a dependency has been updated relative to its latest available version. We try to focus on two research questions: i) Do projects with a large number of dependencies tend to have a higher “outdated time” or missed releases compared to those with fewer dependencies? In other words, is there any relationship or pattern between dependency counts and freshness?ii) To what extent are the dependencies in the latest software releases outdated?The files related to the first research question are inside the RQ1 folder, and those related to the second are inside the RQ2 folder.
