Emerald COUNTER reports are R5 compliant.
What reports are available?
- Full-month COUNTER 5 data from January 2022 onward (new R5 reports are added each month, retrospectively, so November data is available from the first week in December, and so on and so forth.)
- On an annual basis, starting from January 2024, we will remove a rolling wall of 12 months of legacy COUNTER reports that fall outside the prior 24 months i.e. in January 2025 we will remove reports for 2022.
For step-by-step instructions on accessing these usage reports, take a look at our simple guide created for library administrators.
COUNTER R5
COUNTER made some significant changes to the reports available in their R5 release. One significant change is that COUNTER 5 no longer offers a consortia report (CR1) showing the aggregated usage from all members of the consortia. In order to generate overall usage for consortia a bulk download of all members reports will need to be made and the data from all institutions consolidated.
