Hi,
Who do you contact if you find other vendors that claim they have COUNTER statistics but are not listed in the tables on the COUNTER website?

Ämne: Re: COUNTER Compliant vendors or not
Hi,
I've been asked by Peter Shepherd, Director of COUNTER, to post the following response to this email to this list.
I would like to clarify the situation regarding those vendors which are, or are not, COUNTER compliant. This is as follows:
1. The only vendors who are COUNTER compliant are those listed in the Tables on the 'Compliant Vendors' page of the COUNTER website (www.projectCounter.org ). These lists are definitive and no other vendors are COUNTER compliant.
2. In the cases of Ingenta and Wiley, both vendors were compliant with Release 1 of the COUNTER Code of Practice for Journals and Databases, but are not (yet) compliant with Release 2, which has been the only valid version of the Code of Practice since January 2006. Neither of these two vendors is currently COUNTER compliant. I shall contact both to request that they cease to claim that they are.
3. COUNTER membership is quite different from COUNTER compliance. Libraries and intermediaries are all eligible for COUNTER membership. COUNTER is owned by its members. If members wish to become COUNTER compliant they have to go through the same compliance procedure as non-members. Not all COUNTER members are, therefore, COUNTER compliant and not all COUNTER compliant vendors are COUNTER members".

Apologies for cross-posting.
While compiling a list of COUNTER compliant resources at our institution I went to cross-check my findings at Compliant Vendors webpage http://www.projectcounter.org/articles.html. I was surprised to find that a number of vendors that provide us with COUNTER stats were not listed as compliant. As examples I can give Wiley Interscience and Ingenta. I also found that a number of vendors were listed as "members", including Ingenta. How can we discern between COUNTER compliant and non-compliant vendors? Are members compliant?
If they are, why are they not on the list? What about those vendors who seem to be providing compliant stats but are not listed?
Cheers,
