Yes Indeed. I'm sure Peter S is on the case even as we speak!
JR1 = all subscribed usage including zero use and missing data (no data), and preferably with JR1A subtracted at source ... More on archives next week.
With Emerald I have positive usage for some titles even though we didn't subscribe. Is this due to having PRINT subs which have allowed e-access, or maybe some are "open access" titles free to all?
