JSTOR Usage Statistics

JSTOR usage statistics are now updated on a daily basis.

COUNTER Usage Statistics

COUNTER reports provide the most comparable data between the previous JSTOR platform and the new platform released on April 4, 2008. The data for the new JSTOR platform adheres to the same COUNTER processing guidelines as data for the previous JSTOR site.

Unlike the COUNTER reports, the JSTOR reports include options for many different areas of usage and are closely aligned to specific functionality on the JSTOR platform. Due to interface changes and new functionality on the new platform, you may notice increases or decreases in some data. Please also note these changes in the reports:

Breakdown by subdomain: This option has been removed from the Detailed Report due to the length of time it takes to process.
The percentage of articles found via searches (from the Accesses from Your Site section) and the "Origins of Print Requests" chart have been removed from the Detailed Report because this data is not available on the new JSTOR platform.

Please note that reports do not contain usage data from May 8-13, 2008 because of a technical error. We regret this error and have implemented measures to prevent the reoccurrence of the problem.
