COUNTER Compliance?

YES, ARTstor offers COUNTER-compliant usage reports.

Note from ARTstor: March 2018

"We recently updated and simplified our usage reports. As part of this effort, we have removed previously-tracked events to focus on key usage metrics such as views and downloads. We have also made improvements in the Artstor interface that have impacted events that previously appeared in usage reports.

 

Please note these changes apply to both current and historical usage reports. If you ran a report prior to March 2018, you may see a reduction in usage of, on average, 30% - 40% in the new reports."
