Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has announced that their usage statistics have passed their annual COUNTER audit for 2008. This audit was carried out on behalf of COUNTER by ABCe, an independent third-party auditor, who analysed data from June 2008.
COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources) was set up in 2002 to improve the reliability of online usage statistics, and is supported by the vendor, intermediary, and librarian communities. The COUNTER Codes of Practice specify the content, format, delivery mechanisms, and data processing rules for a set of core usage reports that are easily implemented by vendors and easily understood by librarians.
Oxford Journals publishes over 210 journals covering a broad range of subject areas, two-thirds of which are published in collaboration with learned societies and other international organisations. The collection contains some of the world's most prestigious titles, including Nucleic Acids Research, JNCI (Journal of the National Cancer Institute), Brain, Human Reproduction, English Historical Review, and the Review of Financial Studies.
