COUNTER Reports

GSW and our platform provider, Silverchair, have transitioned to COUNTER 5.1. COUNTER has instituted the switch in order to accommodate the needs of OA and provide better reporting for the significant increase in the number and variety of digital resources being offered. In addition COUNTER 5.1 has simplified the SUSHI harvesting protocol used for gathering COUNTER reports.

As a reminder, Silverchair's data retention policy goes into effect July 1, 2025. Usage prior to January 1, 2022 will be removed and no longer available. This affects only older historical data – all recent data remains fully accessible. Each year they remove data that is older than our three-year retention window. If data is required for years prior to 2022, please download and retain the reports for your records.

When accessing COUNTER 5.1 reports, you may receive a message “Report Queued for Processing”. If you receive this message, your reports are in process. If they do not immediately download, please check back shortly. The processing will be completed automatically, and the reports will then be available for download.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns you may have regarding your GeoScienceWorld usage. Please contact Lauren Comi at [email protected].
