Abstract
Utilizing the Project COUNTER Release 4 JR1-GOA report, two librarians explore these data in comparison to journal package subscriptions represented via the JR1 reports. This paper outlines the methodology and study undertaken at the Portland State University Library and the University of Nebraska Medical Center Library using these reports for the first time. The initial outcomes of the study are provided in various Tables for 2014 and 2015. The intent of the study was to provide both institutions with a baseline from which to do further study. In addition, some ideas are given for how these reports can be used in vendor negotiations going forward.
Highlights
Portland State University (PSU) Library and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Library recently reviewed their COUNTER JR1 usage data from 2014 and 2015 and compared it to the COUNTER JR1-GOA usage for the same time period in order to assess the overall picture regarding article usage at the two institutions. This COUNTER report shows the number of successful full-text downloads published under a GOA model
It is designed for hybrid journals, which include traditional subscription and GOA content
The goal of the survey was to develop a better understanding of traditional subscription-based publishers regarding their development of hybrid OA publishing
Summary
