6. What is JUSP?
The Journal Usage Statistics Portal provides a FREE “one stop shop”
for libraries to access and download usage statistics from a wide
range of journal publishers.
20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 6

7. How it all started …
»Interest in a one stop shop forCOUNTER journal reports dates back
to studies carried out in 2005 and before
»Jisc Collections commissioned various parties to develop a
demonstrator/prototype service for a small subset of publishers
(Elsevier, Springer, OUP) and 5 libraries
»JUSP was launched into service in early 2010 and has rapidly
expanded ever since
»E-books were added in February 2016
»JR2/JR5 added mid 2016
»Database reports added September 2017
20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 7

8. Who provides JUSP?
»Jisc (formerly staff atThe University of Manchester) – day
to day running, data collection, database admin, support,
website, technical development
»Jisc Collections – publisher agreements
»Evidence Base – user evaluation, surveys and support
»Cranfield University – technical development (SUSHI)

9. What does JUSP contain - journals?
»COUNTER journal reports for 85 publishers and
intermediaries
»Data back to January 2009 where available
»Expanding publisher list
»Over 620 million individual data entries
»Data for more than 200 institutions
»Title lists and deal information
»Over 30 reports, charts and tables providing access to the
data in a wide range of forms!20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 9

10. What JUSP does NOT contain
»Cost information
»Article level stats
»Unchecked data!!!
»Data for non COUNTER compliant publishers
»Full journal aggregator reports
20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 10

11. Reports and features

12. How we work with the data
»SUSHI – Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting
Initiative: machine to machine
»We collect approximately 10,000 reports per month
»Backdata / new publishers or sites / missing accounts /
restated data
»Every report undergoes visual checks, plus automated
checking software runs 20 tests prior to loading
»Any missing data or global errors reported to publishers
»No reports added unless we’re happy!!!
20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 12

13. Benefits for libraries - 1
»One account not dozens
»All report gathering done centrally
»All data verified prior to loading
»Costs/time savings
»Reports and data presentation save a lot of time
»New reports take effort out of calculations
»Restated data
20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 13

14. Benefits for libraries - 2
»Help with SCONUL return
»Usage profiling and peer group comparisons
»“Core” title tracking / ad hoc reports
»Export and visualise reports and data in various ways
»Designed for and by the library community
»More clout with publishers over issues
20/06/2018 JUSP - Imperial College London 14

15. Interoperability
»JUSP offers a SUSHI server for exporting data

Millennium / RedLink / EBSCO Usage Consolidation
»Shares data with KB+ http://www.kbplus.ac.uk
»Jisc Library Support Services (LSS) project development
