How to interpret the data
The JR5 report may contain multiple lines for each title as the report specifically counts accesses of that title depending on the year of publication. So you may see entries for many different individual years or time periods. Where a time period is denoted as "0000", this means the year of publication hasn't been stated in the report. "9999" refers to articles in press. You may also see entries for time periods up to 1995, or for 1995-1999, according to guidelines provided by COUNTER.
If you have added details of your core (subscribed) titles, these will be
highlighted by a star in the table. Titles included in the Directory of Open
Access Journals (DOAJ) will also be highlighted with the DOAJ symbol.
