Are Oxford Journals Online Usage Statistics compliant with the recommendations from Project COUNTER?
Yes. Our usage statistics are COUNTER-compliant, and in October 2008 passed an audit by ABCe on behalf of COUNTER. We have also become compliant with ABCe’s requirements for data collection and analysis. One immediate benefit of this is that we can now use the most trusted and up-to-date tools to exclude robots from the traffic figures.
