Against the backdrop of transition from journal subscriptions to open access (OA), the National Information Standards Organisation (NISO) has convened a working group to make recommendations on best practices for OA business processes.
SiQ COO Stuart Maxwell is delighted to be part of this working group. SiQ’s participation continues our ongoing commitment and support for working groups with entities such as NISO and COUNTER to further open standards and best practices for the knowledge community.
A year ago we posted a thought piece around best practices in data management and reporting to increase trust and value from our data, summarised as the Seven Cs of Compliance, Confidence, Consolidation, Consistency, Clarity, Context and Causation.
A year is a long time in data. Since last August we have seen the ‘rise of AI’. So, we have revisited the Seven Cs and considered how these same best practices can help shape and steer our understanding and use of AI tools.
In 2014, Unlimited Priorities, specialist consultants for scholarly publisher Accessible Archives (AA), were seeking a provider of COUNTER usage and analytics. Following a recommendation by a Director at NFAIS (now NISO), they contacted Scholarly iQ (SiQ).
Together, AA and SiQ built a working relationship that serves as a valued example of creating a trust centred partnership between a publisher and a selected specialty vendor.

Research Information invited SiQ’s Stuart Maxwell, along with other COUNTER volunteers, to contribute their perspective on the latest COUNTER update. They offered their thoughts on why COUNTER is needed, its value as perceived by librarians and publishers, optimising for OA and the 5.1 release timelines. Stuart makes a call for 'making sure that industry led standards are available to support [Open Access reporting]. It would be a great mistake for OA usage to not be Consistent, Credible and Comparable in the same way'.

SiQ are delighted to announce our latest partnership to provide COUNTER usage reporting and analytics for Faculti.net.
The reporting partnership will meet Faculti’s requirements for COUNTER reporting for subscribers and advanced reporting, analytics and best practices for internal publisher reporting by content source and category.
Recently at the Society for Scholarly Publishing Annual Meeting, KGL PubFactory’s Director of Platform Services, Tom Beyer,together with longtime platform partner, Stuart Maxwell, COO of Scholarly IQ, presented a poster on the advanced analytics available to publishers that many are still not using for their editorial, sales, and Plan S strategies. For those that struggling with analysis paralysis trying to identify Open Access usage or meet reporting requirements for transformative journals, we recap the highlights of the findings and discussion here.
Global Social Challenges Journal is a new, interdisciplinary, non-profit, open access journal from Bristol University Press. It will be the first open access journal to be based in the social sciences, whilst engaging with research from all fields of study. The first content will be published in 2022. The journal launch included a panel discussion webinar.
Covid-19 continues to have significant impact on scholarly publishing and journal impact factors have shown sustained increases. The Journal Citation Reports 2022, based on 2021 data from the Web of Science Core Collection and published by Clarivate, are summarised in Research Information. A further article by Web of Science’s Nandita Quaderi provides more detailed analysis on another extraordinary year.
Beyond increased citation impact, the article also describes the identification of a new type of anomalous citation reporting: self-stacking. This phenomenon is defined as when a ‘journal contains one or more documents with citations that are highly concentrated to the JIF numerator of the title itself.’
The COUNTER Technical Advisory Group have developed a significant update to the Code of Practice. Among other changes, Release 5.1 has been designed to better facilitate Open Access. They have opened a community consultation for proposed updates.
The key changes introduced are a focus on Item as the primary unit of reporting, access types and SUSHI/JSON changes. The consultation will be open until Monday 5th September 2022.
SiQ will be directly contacting all customers about the impact of these potential changes.
If you would also like to discuss these changes with us, particularly if yourcurrent provider is not compliant with Item level reporting, please contact SiQ for more details.
Unravel the complexities of tracking open access usage. SiQ’s Stuart Maxwell will be contributing to a panel discussion by ChronosHubon 22 September. There will be participation from publisher and librarian perspectives and Stuart will be giving insights to COUNTER’s perspective on changing standards. Other contributors include Andrew Pitts from the IPregistry and Andy Utterback from PLOS.
In this webinar, we'll look at what metrics can be collected, and whether we should look at the data globally, or an institutional level, possibly to evaluate affiliated institutions' APC payments or open access agreements.
We will discuss the topic both from a publisher and a library perspective, with panellists sharing their experience and opinion on the feasibility of conducting a usage-based analysis of open access articles to determine their value to institutions and libraries.
At the end of May, Choice hosted a live webinar and panel discussion on granular usage reporting, sponsored by Elsevier.
The webinar discussed how federated-authentication may add further granularity and meaningful insights to COUNTER usage reporting within an institution.
SiQ are delighted to announce a series of free training sessions for librarians using COUNTER 5 reporting powered by SiQ. These sessions will take you through reporting functionality as well as some quick wins to help you better use your COUNTER reports sooner.
How can you use your data for more? The standard for analytics has been to provide COUNTER reports and a SUSHI API to those reports. But there is so much more information that can be drawn out.

Attending the London Book Fair recently and having my first face to face meetings in over 2 years a good number of the conversations revolved around best practices in data management and reporting to increase trust in and value from data.
Seeing this as an extension from the well known 5Vs of big data (Volume, Value, Variety, Velocity and Veracity) I managed to distil some of the key topics around this into ‘Seven Cs’ (to try and make it more memorable) with the aim to summarise some of the thought processes that aid reporting, analytics and the actions we take.
SiQ are delighted to announce a series of free training sessions for librarians using COUNTER 5 reporting powered by SiQ.

Academic and scholarly publishing industry initiatives are managed and led by a range of working groups and societies, and Scholarly iQ (SiQ) is proud to be active in supporting and working in these groups. Following is a brief overview of these groups, some of the work they do and updates on latest developments.
San Antonio, TX: SiQ and PSI are delighted to release a new integration of IP Registry data to COUNTER and publisher usage reporting and analytics, significantly resolving the issue in attributing institutional usage to unknown or expired sets of IP ranges.
Usage metrics are some of the most trusted and common measurements used to demonstrate the value relationship between authors, publishers, funders, librarians and researchers, however the provision of such measurements relies on the availability of associated data to match the usage to institutions. This is particularly challenging for Open Access publishers, repositories and for ‘Unknown’ usage where the publisher does not have database entries to match usage identifiers to identifiable institutions.
Danish machine-learning company UNSILO and leading analytics provider Scholarly iQ (SiQ) have announced a partnership to provide a unified analytics solution for publishers and institutions. The tool will enable organisations involved in academic publishing, such as institutions, publishers, and societies, to be able to track usage of any document, and to link the usage to the key concepts contained within that document.
Scholarly iQ are delighted to continue support for the SSP Annual Meetings as a Silver Sponsor for a fellowship grant for the 2018 conference to be held May 30 – June 1, 2018 at the Sheraton Grand, Chicago, Illinois.
COUNTER (www.projectcounter.org) have now published the upcoming Release 5 Code of Practice.
Contributions to the development of this latest release have come from COUNTER’s library, vendor and content provider members including Scholarly iQ. Release 5 is designed to be internally consistent, unambiguous, and flexible, so that it will be easier for publishers to be compliant and so that the Code of Practice can be adapted and extended as digital publishing continues to change.
To support the implementation of R5, COUNTER have also produced two guides: The Friendly Guide for Providers and Technical Notes. Library guides will follow early next year.
Scholarly iQ are already working on making the change to Release 5 as smooth as possible including establishing new data schemas and new reporting interfaces. COUNTER has set 1 January 2019 as the deadline for transition.
We recommend these highly useful materials for publishers and librarians to get to know Release 5, and welcome any questions or enquiries about these upcoming changes to stuart.maxwell@scholarlyiq.com.

The new platform, provided by Scholarly iQ, enables librarians to access past and current usage statistics and receive timely, accurate COUNTER usage reports that comply with the industry standard for measuring online usage of scholarly journals. The platform, to be introduced in July, also includes an automated request and response model known as SUSHI, which utilizes a Web services framework to increase the flexibility of library access to ACM’s electronic resource usage data.
"This next generation platform is a major advance for ACM Digital Library users who rely on its vast information resources to support their research and educational programs,” said Scott Delman, ACM Group Publisher. “Librarians will be able to log in to a leading-edge self-service platform through an intuitive Web portal, create custom reports that comply with COUNTER Release 3 standards, and automate the downloading and delivery of this information to stakeholders within the library system."
Scholarly iQ CEO and founder Gary Van Overborg said, “We are pleased to play a role in ACM’s ongoing investment in the content, features, performance, and worldwide reach of its DL with Web analytics technology that improves the quality of online usage reporting for publishers and librarians”.
Scholarly iQ will have representatives available at the 2009 Special Libraries Association Annual Conference in Washington, DC at the Washington Walter E. Washington Convention Center from June 14- 17 2009.
Our attendance at SLA in Washington DC continues our goal of open communication with librarians in order to provide effective and valuable services to the community. In addition, Scholarly iQ will be presenting the new NextGen platform which allows for an affordable modular and tailored COUNTER reporting engine for publishers.

Scholarly iQ is pleased to announce the release of our SUSHI web service for COUNTER Release 3. This new service will provide librarians using electronic resource management (ERM) systems (or other systems) an automated means of retrieving COUNTER usage data from the various content providers supported by Scholarly iQ's NextGen platform. To ensure the highest degree of compatibility, Scholarly iQ has validated their service with the leading consolidators already supporting SUSHI 1.6 (Z39.93) and are currently working with others who are planning to adopt the latest SUSHI protocol. For consulting on how to use SUSHI, recommendations on ERM systems that will integrate this usage data into a librarian’s overall management of e-resources, or general questions in regards to our new service, please send an email to support@ScholarlyiQ.com.
Scholarly iQ has reached another significant milestone in regards to their eBusiness services for publishers and librarians. Development of their NextGen platform has been completed and is now being offered. The latest platform takes publisher stats to a new level that has never before been available. Now publishers can leverage the latest technologies to gain robust next day web analytics that encompass all avenues of their business. From interactive action ready reports that relate to key business objectives to multi-dimensional data analysis capabilities based on offline data to COUNTER Release 3 Compliant reporting - the NextGen platform delivers.
But aside from the expansive feature list and nearly overwhelming capabilities, this latest platform allows for a reduction in costs because it is modular based. This means publishers can pick and choose which components fits their business needs for a tailored solution that also aligns with their budget. "We realize that every publisher has a unique set of needs and different budgets to work with. So when we developed our latest platform we made sure to keep this in mind. So no matter the publisher's size or budget, we can now provide a superior solution that can grow with the publisher at the most competitive rate possible." - Gary Van Overborg, CEO and founder.
