Best practice guidance: syndicated usage

08 August 2024

Our new best practice guidance focuses on syndicated usage.

COUNTER has always tried to reflect the usage reporting needs of the knowledge community. We encourage community members to tell us when there are gaps in the Code of Practice. We’re tackling those gaps by working with our volunteers and the wider COUNTER community to develop best practice guidance.

Our first best practice guidance is about content that is syndicated and available on multiple platforms. This was open to community consultation earlier this year and was revised and approved by the COUNTER Executive Committee in August 2024.

You can find the guidance on our new Best Practice page. This also holds information about two other topics that we’ll be working on through 2024, and how to get involved with developing that guidance through our focus groups.
