The document provides an overview of the Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP). JUSP gives librarians centralized access to journal, book, database and platform usage reports from publishers in a standardized way. It collects over 30,000 COUNTER-compliant reports per month from over 85 publishers. The document demonstrates how to use JUSP to find reports, view annual usage summaries, check for missing data or publishers, and identify titles with access denials. Additional resources for learning about JUSP and COUNTER reports are also listed.

5. A note about COUNTER versions – R4 and R5
»The COUNTER code of practice has been developed over many
years and needs to be updated periodically to ensure it meets the
needs of the community
»Current version is Release 4
»Release 5 coming in January 2019
»Will be changes but still need to refer to historical reports
»More info: https://jusp.jisc.ac.uk/news/counter5.html

6. How we work with the data
»SUSHI – Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative
»We collect over 30,000 reports per month
»Plus backdata for new publishers or institutions, missing accounts,
and restated data
»Every report undergoes visual checks, plus automated checking
software runs 20 tests prior to loading
»JUSP doesn't modify COUNTER usage data
»Any missing data or global errors reported to publishers
