COUNTER reports
Release 5
As of January 2020, the first iteration of COUNTER release 5 reports are available. Following an audit to ensure that we comply with the COUNTER Code of Practice Release 5, we are happy to share that we successfully passed and have “limited compliance pending audit of other reports.” This means that the Title Reports for journals and books on nature.com and link.springer.com content are now COUNTER 5 compliant. We plan on releasing additional reports later this year as we continue to work towards being fully COUNTER 5 compliant.
Which COUNTER 5 reports are available?
The Title Master Report and its Standard views are available for SpringerLink and nature.com content. The Platform Master Report and Database Master Report will be available at a later date.
