I have more than one administrator username and password, which one should I use to view my statistics?
The OUP system logs the accesses from a particular IP address against all the accounts that have that IP registered. For example, if you have one subscription account with only 2 titles, and another subscription account with another 10 titles, if you have the same IP range registered against each one, then it does not matter which account you access. You will see the usage for all titles relevant to that IP range registered in both accounts.
However if you have registered different ranges of IP addresses against each subscription account, then you will need to check each account individually. You can then export the results and add them together as you require. Please note that if there is any overlap in IP addresses registered across your accounts, then when you add the accounts together you will experience double counting for those IP addresses. If there is an overlap then, we recommend that you use the subscription account with the widest IP range registered against it.
Will the Usage Statistics show the entire access from my organisation to Oxford Journals Online?
The usage statistics provide a record of all direct accessing of to our titles. They do not include accesses via third party gateways such as EBSCO, Ingenta, SwetsWise etc. However, where possible, we intend to develop our service in this area, as per the recommendations of the COUNTER Project.
Can I download copies of my usage statistics for use in a spreadsheet?
Yes. To use the statistics in a spreadsheet you can save the HTML pages and import them as .htm/.html pages, or you can select the [CSV] link for your chosen month/year and when the page has finished loading copy and paste it into a local file with a .csv suffix. This can be opened and manipulated in most spreadsheet programs.
How often are the Usage Statistics updated?
The reports are updated at the beginning of each month, with information on accesses for the previous month. For example in February we would load all information for accesses up until the end of January.
