Description
Summary:The development of COUNTER usage statistics code of practice (de facto standard) during 2003–2016 is considered. It is demonstrated what issues in developing four successive versions of standard resulted in its substantial redesign fulfilled during 2016–2018 and implemented in COUNTER 5. New conceptual structure of COUNTER 5 (effective from January 1st, 2019) with its three components “objects — metrics — attributes” is described. New opportunities of statistical reports generation allowing to combine different attributes and metrics are analyzed. New standard reports are described and commented. Differences in summary statistics data compared to previous year data are explained. The importance of standardized usage data from content providers not COUNTER compliant yet is stressed.
