Publishers' Usage Statistics Reports
From ERLWiki
Contents |
[edit] Welcome
This project evolved from a Round Table on Usage Statistics at the March 2008 ER&L Conference. Participants wanted a way to document best practices for gathering and reporting usage statistics, including making the data gathering process less laborious, interpreting data, deriving baselines for subject areas, and connecting data pieces to create a better understanding of users and user behavior.

[edit] Bibliography
A working bibliography of articles, conference presentations and research reports related to electronic resource usage data is available from the CiteULike group ER&L Usage Data. Citations can be searched by author or tag. Citations may include DOIs, full-text URLs, reviews, ratings, or notes.
Anyone can view or search the references, or subscribe to an RSS feed to be informed of new items.
If you want to export references, contribute citations, or add reviews or notes to existing items, you will need to create a free CiteULike account and join the ER&L Usage Data group. After you have created your account and logged in, search for ER&L in groups to find and join.
The CiteULike ER&L Usage Data bibliography is a work in progress, and we invite your participation. Guidelines for posting are in the group Forum.
