Online Usage Statistics for Institutional Subscribers

Project Euclid provides institutional subscribers with usage statistics that conform to COUNTER 3 specifications for the Euclid Prime collection as well as other titles hosted on the Project Euclid platform. (Additional notes on our COUNTER 3 implementation are below.)

To view usage statistics for titles hosted on the Project Euclid platform, please login to your Library's account. Click the Usage Reports link (right-hand navigation bar), which will provide access to downloadable data files.

If you have questions about your usage statistics, contact Project Euclid.

In providing usage statistics, we have followed the specifications of the COUNTER Code of Practice, Release 3. COUNTER is an organization of producers and purchasers of electronic content who seek consistent methods of measuring online use. The code specifies common practices in the recording and exchange of online usage data.

Project Euclid provides subscribing institutions with the following usage reports:

• Journal Report 1: Number of successful full-text article requests by month and journal
• Journal Report 1a: Number of Successful Full-text Article Requests from an Archive by Month and Journal - When applicable
• Database Report 3: Total searches and sessions by month and service.

Since "turnaways" are not applicable to Project Euclid, we do not provide Journal Report 2 or Database Report 2.

COUNTER reports are provided as downloadable files in CSV format (comma-delimited text files). These can be easily imported into spreadsheet software, such as Excel.

COUNTER reports are also available via the SUSHI protocol. The information you will need to make SUSHI requests to Project Euclid is also provide on the Usage Reports page.

For more information about the SUSHI protocol, see the NISO SUSHI Web site.
