Scheduled reports
Requesting a scheduled report allows you to request data to be delivered automatically to you in weekly or monthly intervals. Scheduled reports will be delivered regularly on Sundays or Mondays, depending on your time zone. Note that you can choose a custom date range for the data to be included in this report.
To schedule a report:
- Select account(s) and report type(s)
- Under "Report Type," select "Scheduled"
- Select your desired frequency: "Weekly" or "Monthly"
- Under "Reporting Period," select your desired range (this option will change based on whether you chose a weekly or monthly report)
- Select your report type format. (Note that XLSX is an Excel readable file.)
- Name your report if you wish to customize the title
- Choose the recipient's email address
- Review your information on the next screen and press "Submit"
- Your report will be emailed to the recipient's email on the first day of the month or every Monday.
One-time reports
Requesting a one-time report allows you to request data from a certain time period without the report being scheduled for regular delivery.
To request a one time report:
- Select account(s) and report type(s)
- Under "Report Type," select "One Time"
- Choose your Start and End date
- Name your report if you wish to customize the title
- Choose the recipient's email address
- Review your information on the next screen and press "Submit"
- Your report will be emailed to the recipient's email shortly
Do I need to reschedule my book reports?
Yes. If previous to Feb 2020, JSTOR scheduled a books report for you, you will need to reschedule it. To do so, see: Scheduled reports.
Are Books at JSTOR reports COUNTER compliant?
While Books at JSTOR reports are built on the same reporting system as our COUNTER 5 reports, they are technically not COUNTER compliant because the report types JSTOR offers are not mandated by the COUNTER code of practice.
Why don't my Books at JSTOR reports match my COUNTER reports?
Books at JSTOR reports are not COUNTER compliant, and therefore count things a bit differently to better align with the structures of our books acquisition models. Books at JSTOR reports exclude usage for items in books: table of contents, frontmatter, backmatter, etc., so usage in these reports will be lower than your COUNTER reports.
