Types of Reports
The LexisNexis usage reporting and analysis system provides reports that comply with the Project Counter Code of Practice 3. 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, and the Consortium 2 report.
LexisNexis does not provide JR1 and Consortium 1 reports showing retrievals by publication title. These reports are not required and not appropriate for aggregator databases.
LexisNexis provides additional data on document retrievals by database, with detail LexisNexis "library" and "file" classification. These data are available through the Analytical Tools described below.

Support for SUSHI is expected to be added to the system shortly.
