Betreff: Release 1 of the COUNTER Code of Practice for Articles now published


Dear Member,

 We are happy to announce that The COUNTER Code of Practice for Articles 
(COUNTER Articles) is now published on the COUNTER website at: 
http://www.projectcounter.org/counterarticles.html. This new Code of Practice 
responds to the growing demand for article-level metrics and has been developed 
as a result of the PIRUS (Publisher and Institutional Repository Usage 
Statistics) project. COUNTER Articles provides a COUNTER-compliant standard for 
the recording, consolidation and reporting of usage at the individual article 
level of journal articles hosted by Publishers, Aggregators, Institutional 
Repositories and Subject Repositories.

 COUNTER Articles builds on the COUNTER Code of Practice for e-Resources and 
COUNTER will be responsible for its development, ongoing management and 
implementation. To have usage statistics and reports designated 
COUNTER-Articles compliant vendors and services will have to provide usage 
statistics that conform to this Code of Practice. Vendors that are already 
COUNTER-compliant will find it relatively straightforward to conform to the 
COUNTER Articles standard. In addition to what is already provided for COUNTER, 
the key additional metadata requirement for COUNTER Articles - compliance will 
be the article DOI, which allows usage to be recorded, reported and 
consolidated unambiguously for each journal article.

 COUNTER Articles provides a standard that enables any organization hosting 
journal articles to report in a credible, consistent and compatible way the 
usage of these articles to authors, their institutions and their funding 
organizations. It also enables vendors to consolidate usage of articles on 
different platforms into a global usage total.
