Add Data Type category for the Title Report in COUNTER 5 section of analytics
The Master Title Report of COUNTER 5 includes ebook and journal titles. It is difficult to use this master report in analytics without having a data type or section type option to differentiate between which titles are journals and which are ebooks. The master title report is useless in analytics without this option. Please add the data type or section type category from the COUNTER 5 Master Title Report into the Analytics Usage Report.

Now that Newspapers and OA journal titles have been removed from the JR1 report in COUNTER 5, having the ability to filter the Title Report to collect newspaper usage, etc. for the ACRL annual survey would be extremely helpful rather than having to manually run the reports on each vendor's admin. site.

Yoel, the idea is referring to the Data_Type and Section_Type attributes as specified in the COUNTER R5 standard:
https://www.projectcounter.org/code-of-practice-five-sections/3-0-technical-specifications/#commonattributesData_Type allows you to take the usage data included in a TR master report, and break it down by the kind of resource represented (e.g. Book, Journal, Report, Thesis_or_Dissertation, Newspaper_or_Newsletter, Other).
Section_Type similarly allows you to break down usage reported by chapters, articles, full books, or other kinds of sections.

Hello. Thank you for your idea. Please explain why it is not sufficient in this case to use the field "Material Type Indicator" in folder "Usage Data Details - Release 5" in the "Usage Data" subject area. You can filter it by "begins with TR-" to get the title reports.
See attached pictures.
