COUNTER R5的新特性及对图书馆的影响

New Features of Counter R5 and the Impact on Libraries

COUNTER是规范网络化电子资源使用统计报告数据处理、审核和提交的国际化标准,是图书馆电子资源使用量统计和评估的核心要素。目前COUNTER已经发布了最新版本R5,了解R5的新特性及与之前版本的不同对于图书馆的电子资源统计工作具有重要意义。本文拟从COUNTERR5的报告设置、报告的指标类型、数据类型、访问类型和其他完善报告的属性来解析R5,同时介绍R5对SUSHI收割的影响、"持续维护"的概念、R5发布对图书馆的影响和R5实施的重要时间节点,同时也对R5较之R4的发展和不同进行了比较和分析。COUNTERR5的主要关注点是一致性、清晰性和简单性,较之COUNTERR4有了明显的完善,同时包含了持续的维护过程,允许对代码进行更新而不必再引入一个全新的版本,解决了版本升级会对供应商和图书馆带来的各种时间和人员成本的影响。

COUNTER is an international standard to standardize the data processing, auditing and submission of statistical reports on the use of online electronic resources. It is the core element of the usage statistics and evaluation of library electronic resources. Currently, COUNTER has released the latest version of R5, and it is of great significance to understand the new features of R5 and its difference from the previous version in the electronic resource statistics of the library. This article introduces the report of COUNTER R5, the indicator type of the report, the data type, the access type, and other attributes of the improved report. The paper also introduces the influence of R5 on SUSHI harvest and on library, the concept of "continuous maintenance", and the important timing of R5 implementation. At the same time, the development and differences of R5 compared with R4 were compared and analyzed. The primary features of COUNTER R5 are its consistency, clarity and simplicity especially in contrast with COUNTER R4. R5 also includes a continuous maintenance process that allows code to be updated without introducing a new version. In sum, R5 relieves the time and personnel costs of version upgrades for vendors and libraries.
