About COUNTER
Launched in March 2002, COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of Networked E
lectronic Resources) is an international initiative designed to serve
librarians, publishers and intermediaries by facilitating the recording
and exchange of online usage statistics.
The COUNTER Code of Practice
COUNTER has been developed to provide a set of international, extendible
Codes of Practice that allows the usage of online information products and
services to be measured in a credible, consistent and compatible way using
vendor-generated data. The COUNTER Codes of Practice for Journals and
Databases specifies exact parameters including: the data to be measured,
usage report content, format, frequency and methods of delivery. Release 2
of the COUNTER Code of Practice for Journals and Databases has been
developed with input from vendors, librarians and intermediaries.
COUNTER brings new benefits to librarians, publishers and intermediaries:
Librarians will be able to: compare usage statistics from different
vendors; make better-informed purchasing decisions; plan infrastructure
more effectively.
Publishers and intermediaries will be able to: provide data to customers
in a format they want; compare the relative usage of different delivery
channels; aggregate data for a customer that is using multiple delivery
channels, learn more about genuine usage patterns.
