COUNTER conference and AGM 5 June 2025: Call for papers
17 January 2025Measuring usage of non-controlled content
We are delighted to call for papers for the second COUNTER Conference on the theme of “Measuring usage of non-controlled content”. The conference will take place alongside our Annual General Meeting on Thursday 5th June 2025. This online, members-only event will focus on how measuring usage can help express the value of open access and free-to-read content.
If you would like the opportunity to share your expertise in a 20-30 minute session (or we are open to shorter timing suggestions), please send us a proposal. Topics we’d like to see include but aren’t limited to:
- How libraries showcase the value of free-to-read archives
- How to demonstrate the impact of scholarship using global usage metrics
- Best practices for usage metrics for grey literature, datasets, multimedia and other diverse content types
- Innovations in working with usage metrics in assessing open access agreements and resources
- Technical implementation approaches
Please send abstracts of no more than 200 words to sian@countermetrics.org by 28 February 2025. We encourage submissions from anywhere in the world and from all parts of our community, but sales pitches will not be considered.
The short AGM within the conference will be an opportunity for members to get updates on progress with the new COUNTER strategy one year on from its launch and approve future developments.
The COUNTER Conference and AGM are exclusive member benefits. For more information about COUNTER and how to join, please click here.
