6. What is JUSP?
The Journal Usage Statistics Portal provides a FREE “one stop shop”
for libraries to access and download usage statistics from a wide
range of journal publishers.
20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 6

7. How it all started …
»Interest in a one stop shop forCOUNTER journal reports dates back
to studies carried out in 2005 and before
»Jisc Collections commissioned various parties to develop a
demonstrator/prototype service for a small subset of publishers
(Elsevier, Springer, OUP) and 5 libraries
»JUSP was launched into service in early 2010 and has rapidly
expanded ever since
»E-books were added in February 2016
»JR2/JR5 added mid 2016
»Database reports added September 2017
20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 7

8. Who provides JUSP?
»Jisc (formerly staff atThe University of Manchester) – day
to day running, data collection, database admin, support,
website, technical development
»Jisc Collections – publisher agreements
»Evidence Base – user evaluation, surveys and support
»Cranfield University – technical development (SUSHI)

12. How we work with the data
»SUSHI – Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting
Initiative: machine to machine
»We collect approximately 10,000 reports per month
»Backdata / new publishers or sites / missing accounts /
restated data
»Every report undergoes visual checks, plus automated
checking software runs 20 tests prior to loading
»Any missing data or global errors reported to publishers
»No reports added unless we’re happy!!!

»All data verified prior to loading
»Costs/time savings
»Reports and data presentation save a lot of time
»New reports take effort out of calculations
»Restated data
20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 13

14. Benefits for libraries - 2
