JUSP: Getting to grips with your usage statisticsPaul Meehan & Anne Reed - Jisc / Mimas

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.

How it all started …

»Interest in a one stop shop for COUNTER 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

Who provides JUSP?

JUSP is funded by Jisc and provided by a consortium of partners:

»Mimas (Jisc, formerly The University of Manchester) – day to day running, data collection, database admin, support, website, technical development
