Announcing the COUNTER Academy
31 March 2025We are delighted to be announcing the COUNTER Academy. This is a new education offering for 2025 and comes in response to requests from the COUNTER community for more in-depth training on using COUNTER.
The COUNTER Academy will start in the summer and run online for 16 weeks. Over the course of eight modules participants will learn about the need for normalised metrics, what COUNTER is, and how to use it. We will explore technical aspects of COUNTER such as attributes, extensions and using the validation tool. We will look at how to get COUNTER reports and how to use them; using the COUNTER API; and combining COUNTER with other data. In addition, the course will look at open access data; using COUNTER to understand impact; and what is ahead for COUNTER in the future.
The COUNTER Academy is only available for members and in 2025 we are limiting numbers to 25 participants. There is also an opportunity for publishers to sponsor librarian places on the COUNTER Academy.
