What is COUNTER?
COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of NeTworked Electronic Resources),
launched in 2002, is an international initiative to improve the reliability of online usage statistics. It is supported by the vendor,
intermediary and librarian communities. COUNTER's objective is to ensure that vendor online usage reports are credible,
compatible and consistent. This is achieved by the publication of Codes of Practice that specify the content, format,
delivery mechanisms and data processing rules for a set of core usage reports that are easily implemented by vendors and
easily understood by librarians and others who use them.
J-STAGE provides the following reports,
Journal Report 1
- Journal Report 1 GOA*
- Journal Report 2
- Journal Report 5
- Consortium Report 1**
*Since The data both GOA and HTML format was not available at J-STAGE at this moment, access examination was not possible with real data and JR1GOA was not recognized as formal criteria by Project COUNTER.
**JST will set up Consortium Report 1 available. Please contact us if you would like to use it.
