摘要

摘要本研究考察了与电子书使用报告相关的COUNTER 5指标的有效性。通过在EBSCOhost和ProQuest Ebook Central这两个主要电子书平台上的三个模拟过程，作者能够深入了解每个电子书平台中项目级别的使用情况。研究发现，两家供应商在使用报告中都遵循了COUNTER 5标准的原则。然而，数据分析的结果也表明，两个供应商在平台设计上的差异直接影响了使用情况的统计，从而影响了电子书使用情况报告的总体结果。

Understanding COUNTER 5 metrics in context: a case study on E-book vendor usage reports

Abstract This study examines the effectiveness of the COUNTER 5 metrics relating to e-book usage reporting. Through three simulated processes on two major e-book platforms, EBSCOhost and ProQuest Ebook Central, the authors were able to gain insights into how usage was counted at item level within each e-book platform. The study finds that both vendors followed the principles of COUNTER 5 standard in usage reporting. Nevertheless, the result of data analysis also suggests that the difference in platform design between the two vendors had a direct impact on how usage was counted, thus affected the total outcome of e-book usage reports.
