OECD iLibrary Support: Feature Note: COUNTER-compliant Usage Statistics

COUNTER-COMPLIANT USAGE STATISTICS BACKGROUND OECD iLibrary is providing usage statistics to subscribers according to Counting Online Usage NeTworked Electronic Resources (COUNTER)* standards. Three different reports are available measuring the usage of all content at OECD iLibrary by a subscribing institution/user. These reports present monthly counts of full-text item downloads for a selected calendar year. Usage statistics are available as of the official release of OECD iLibrary in July 2010. Each month usage statistics for the previous month are normally made available on the 5th of the month and complying with the COUNTER specification, reports are only available going back to the start of the previous calendar year. The three reports are: Book Report 1: Number of Successful Title Requests by Month and Title This report records all full-text downloads of the following publications as full titles : •

•

all books: -

stand-alone monographs

-

books in a book series, e.g. Issues in International Taxation series

-

books in a country studies series, e.g. OECD Economic Surveys by country, OECD Environmental Performance Reviews by country

-

books in an annual series, e.g. Society at a Glance by year

-

books in an outlook series, e.g. OECD Economic Outlook by issue

all statistical periodical issues (table publications), e.g. Main Science and Technology Indicators by issue

To download a usage report: 1. Click the drop-down menu in the Report type field and select the desired report: BR1, BR2 or JR1. 2. Enter the email address the report should be sent to in the Email address field. 3. Click the drop-down menu in the Reported Year field and select the desired year. 4. Click the “submit” button Note: A separate page will confirm each requested report that was successfully sent.

STRUCTURE OF COUNTER USAGE REPORTS The reports are sent by the system as CSV (comma-separated value) text files. The reports BR1 and BR2 are very similar in structure but differ in what usage they record: The publication titles in column 1 are identical in both reports while full title downloads are counted in BR1 and their respective parts/sections in BR2.

BR2 – Book Report 2:

Following the COUNTER code of practice, the Journal Report 1 includes two additional columns with year-to-date information outlining the total of full-text HTML and PDF requests for the year to date. Other available formats on OECD iLibrary such as XLS files or downloads from the dynamic database environment in XLS or CSV format are not listed separately but included in YTD Total. Therefore YTD HTML + YTD PDF will not necessarily equal YTD Total. Furthermore it cannot be concluded that the difference between the column YTD Total and the sum of columns YTD HTML and YTD PDF is the number of downloaded XLS files because other formats are also concerned.
