Usage statistics reports for Palgrave Macmillan publications

Site licence customers receive usage statistic reports for all Palgrave Macmillan publications. In compliance with COUNTER standards, the reports are uploaded to your Site Licence Administration account before the end of every month for the preceding month. The registered site licence administrator will be alerted by email when reports are available. Statistics are also available during a trial.

Usage reports enable you to:

  • Build a monthly and annual overview of usage at your institution
  • Measure usage of new publications
  • Make informed purchasing decisions
  • Compare statistics from different vendors and publishers
  • Understand and predict user patterns at your institution
  • Plan infrastructure more effectively

COUNTER

Palgrave Macmillan has strongly supported Project COUNTER since its inception in 2003. Working with librarians and publishers, COUNTER provides an agreed international set of standards and protocols governing the recording and exchange of online usage data.

Since the end of 2013, usage statistic reports comply with COUNTER Release 4 and include:

  • XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and CSV formats
  • Compliancy with SUSHI (Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative) for integration with ERM systems
  • Consortia-level reporting
  • Timely delivery
  • Optional email alerts when reports are updated
  • Easy to use interface with a self-service account management

To find out more, and to become a member, go to: www.projectcounter.org
Reporting is provided by MPS Insight.

SUSHI

SUSHI (Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative) supports the automatic retrieval of COUNTER reports as an alternative to downloading spreadsheets. Using MPS Insight, Palgrave Macmillan can deliver reports via SUSHI as required by Release 4 of the COUNTER Code of Practice.
