March 2018 | ​Two new COUNTER reports are now available to download in your Library Admin area of SpringerLink, showing usage and denials of SpringerProtocols content. The newly-released report formats provide an easier option for account administrators who wish to see usage of this content separately.

March 2019 | ​​​​​​​In recent months we have started to merge  Springer and Nature accounts together to better serve our customers.  This work is still ongoing and not completely finished due to its complexity. This is causing a delay in releasing COUNTER 5 reports on the Springer Nature Librarian Portal and via SUSHI. Therefore, we will not be able to make these available in March as previously communicated.

In early September all customers will transition to only using their BPID as the main customer identifier. Currently, COUNTER 4 nature.com and Scientific American usage is reporting on siteIDs, but as of September the reporting will be based on the customer’s BPID.

In the past decade, eBook collections have become more common place, publishing technologies have improved.

January 2020 | We are happy to announce that earlier this week we made available our first COUNTER release 5 data. This first iteration of COUNTER 5 reports are currently being audited in order to ensure that we comply with the COUNTER Code of Practice Release 5. You can access the COUNTER 5 reports are via the Springer Nature Librarian Portal.

We are pleased to announce 2 new COUNTER5 (C5) updates released in September 2020. The first update is that 4 new filters are now available to use for C5 customer filtered Title Master Reports.

September 2018 | We’re happy to share some upcoming developments for the newly launched Springer Nature Librarian Portal, which will soon have COUNTER reports available for download for SpringerLink and nature.com content.  Additionally, MPS Insights and Site License Administration Account platforms will soon be disabled and shut down.

February 2019 | ​​​​​​​In January 2019, COUNTER released its fifth Code of Practice (COUNTER 5) which “focuses on improving the clarity, consistency, and comparability of usage reporting." As a result, we have spent the last few months working towards becoming COUNTER 5 compliant and would like to share an update on our progress.

April 2020 | We have introduced a custom report metric that makes it possible to compare the BR2: Book chapter downloads by month COUNTER 4 (C4) data with the Title Master Report COUNTER 5 data. The TR_B1: Book Requests C5 report data represents the overall requests of a book on the chapter level, and since we deliver books as a single pdf but only reported usage in the C4 Chapter Report (BR2), there was no comparable metric in C5 until now.
