From: [log in to unmask] Date: Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 7:07 PM Dear Colleagues As you are well aware, researchers are increasingly using a variety of platforms to access and share the literature and some of this usage is hidden. The same article may be available from a variety of places: · Publisher’s platform · Social Network Sites such as Mendeley and Research Gate · Full text aggregator platforms such as EBSCO · Institutional Repositories Information Power Ltd, working with COUNTER, has been commissioned to undertake research into ‘Distributed Usage Logging’. This is a method of reporting that would give a much more complete picture. It enables publishers to provide reports of “total usage” regardless of where that usage happens. Such reports could also provide information about shares, tweets, and citations on Wikipedia, etc. We would like to discover what such additional data would be useful to you. We would be grateful for your help! Our survey asks some short questions and takes no more than ten minutes to complete. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/K5HC8B3 Your responses will inform developments in this area of work and we will share a summary of the survey findings via the COUNTER website.
