“Number of Successful Full-text Article Requests byYear
of Publication (YOP) and Journal”
Multiple entries possible for same journal, depending on
publication year for articles downloaded / viewed

whereas titles published in 2014 had 25 views.

The most common reason for
access denied is due to "content
item not licensed" and this is
specified under "MetricType" as
"no_license".
Other possible types are
"turnaway" due to
simultaneous/concurrent user
limit allowed by the licence, or
"other" for any other reasons.

Putting e-journal turnaway figures into context – Using the
COUNTER Journal Report 2 to make evidence-based decisions

Raises some “real world” issues with regard to using the
JR2 reports and data

17. Using reports in the real world …
17
Report showed that 1 in 7 attempts to access articles resulted in
a turnaway, but the reasons were very varied. In some cases, titles
received 1,000 or more turnaways!
» Does Portsmouth have access to the titles?
» Are users trying to access direct publisher content or going via a different route?
» Uncertainty over discovery platform that should be used
» Helps inform purchasing decisions
› E.g. demand for older articles (can buy as one-off)
› No access to current content, could be due to deal available
› Titles changed platform or supplier
» Helps update local discovery service details / content

18. Next steps - JUSP
»Continue to add JR2/5 reports from JUSP publishers
»Work with publishers to resolve COUNTER / SUSHI issues
» Work with aggregators e.g. EBSCO, IngentaConnect
»Additional reports
› “JR2plus” and “JR5plus” type reports
› Annual summary reports – is this needed (no SCONUL
requirement)
