Reporting Global Usage and Usage of Open Content Not Attributed to Institutions

Because users don’t have to authenticate to use open content, not all usage can be attributed to an institution or customer. We would like to consult with you about our proposed new reports for non-attributed usage and about how these reports could be broken down and filtered by geolocation.

These reports would not be a mandatory COUNTER requirement, but any publishers that want to use them, could do so. We are seeking your thoughts about how useful these reports might be, and more specifically on some of the technical details.

Our consultation document with links to sample reports, can be found at: https://www.projectcounter.org/counter-consultation/

Please provide your feedback at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/3CQZVH2.
So that you can discuss the survey with colleagues before submitting responses online, we have included the questions at the end of the consultation document.

You can also look at all the sample reports.
