  1. Support "Parent" fields in COUNTER R5.1 IR reports

    COUNTER R5.1 reports can be harvested into Alma, and then users can review these reports in Analytics.
    For ‘Item Reports’ (IR) not all “parent” fields are supported in Alma and in Analytics.

    Mandatory parent fields for IRA1 in R5.1 are:
    Parent    Title
    ParentAuthors
    Parent    ArticleVersion
    Parent    DOI
    ParentProprietaryID
    ParentPrintISSN
    ParentOnlineISSN
    Parent_URI
    (See https://cop5.countermetrics.org/en/5.0.3/04-reports/04-item-reports.html)

    NOTE: If any parent information is included in an Item Report, the ParentDataType MUST be specified (see https://cop5.projectcounter.org/en/5.1.0.1/03-specifications/02-formats-for-counter-reports.html#report-body)

    These fields should be supported by Alma and Analytics.

    Under Review  ·  AdminZohar Shemesh (zohar.shemesh@exlibrisgroup.com, Ex Libris) responded

    Dear Community,

     

    We would like to confirm the required development in this idea: to add the full list of 'parent' fields (see attached), related to IR and IR_A1 reports, to Analytics' 'Usage Data (COUNTER)' subject area.

    Could you please confirm the above?

     

    Many thanks,

    Zohar Shemesh

  2. "Request" link when you have ordered a physical book

    When you have ordered a physical book (one time order) it would be very helpful to get a Request link available on the Purchase order lines in Review page.

    Then you could place a request more quickly. You don't have to search for the book again.
