How to interpret the data
The data in the table show the total accesses per month, as well as the number of those accessed via a gateway or intermediary (shown in brackets). If you chose to display data over multiple years the table also has a % change column which will show at a glance whether usage has increased or decreased based on the previous year's figures.
Most summary reports in JUSP include intermediary figures as given in this report, either included in the totals or shown separately. This is always made clear in the notes for each report.
Please note that Ebsco EJS provided usage statistics up to July 2014; after that date usage of all titles accessed via Ebsco EJS comes directly from the publisher.
