ScholarlyStats News
Subscribers to ScholarlyStats have some new pricing and platform options available to them. Developed to provide a single point of access to vendor usage statistics, ScholarlyStats provides faster access to consolidated data and helps to analyze usage of online content more easily and effectively.
New Platforms
Two new platforms are available on the ScholarlyStats Web site: CSA and SAGE Publications.
New Pricing Bands
ScholarlyStats has introduced new pricing bands. For the same 2007 pricing, subscribers will have the option to add one additional platform to their account in 2008.
ScholarlyStats also offers a new pricing band with 15 platforms. This option enables subscribers in the pricing band up to 10 platforms to upgrade their account with five additional platforms instead of the larger step to 25 platforms.
Platform Update: OvidSP
Wolters Kluwer is offering a new platform, OvidSP. It is anticipated that all existing customers of Ovid and SilverPlatter will be migrated to this new platform in 2008. To support this migration, ScholarlyStats will offer three platforms during this migration: OvidSP, Ovid and SilverPlatter. By doing this at the right time, ScholarlyStats can ensure a smooth transition of your usage statistics.
SUSHI 1.0 with COUNTER 2.0
ScholarlyStats supports SUSHI 1.0 Interface with SUSHI COUNTER 2.0 for integrating your ScholarlyStats usage statistics reports with one of the ScholarlyStats Integration partners: Thomson JUR and Innovative Interfaces. SUSHI is a protocol for the automatic delivery of usage data from one system to another through an XML schema that defines a request and response system.
To add CSA and/or SAGE Publications, any additional platforms or upgrade your account, or if you have migrated to OvidSP, please contact Chris Cook at ccook@bcr.org to request a new ScholarlyStats platform contract amendment, which will need to be completed and submitted.
