Types of Reports
LexisNexis is developing a usage reporting system that complies with the Counter standard. As a database aggregator, rather than a journals service, LexisNexis is required by the COUNTER standard to provide the Database 3 (DB3) report, which shows searches and sessions by database. LexisNexis will provide additional, custom reports on number of retrievals by database with detail LexisNexis "library" and "file" classification.
SUSHI
The new system will support the SUSHI standard for automated delivery of usage data.
