Below are statistics on usage of Project Muse for your campus(es) for the third quarter of 1997, July, August, and September, traditionally low-usage months.
It is worth noting that we have intentionally removed the "extraneous" hits which bloat many other sites' reportage. So-called hits to journal icons, buttons, boilerplate information, and the like are removed before statistics are run. This results in anywhere from 5 to 10-to-1 ratios of difference. Because this project is a joint project with Johns Hopkins' Milton Eisenhower Library, we strive to provide librarians with valid statistics rather than artificially inflated ones.
Each row in your stats report represents one journal, with one row labelled "Other" representing all hits to journals materials that could not be resolved to a specific journal. Only those journals which have been accessed during this quarter will be shown. Each column in your stats report represents a breakdown of accesses within a given journal during the quarter. The following legend explains the meaning of each column:
ARTICLES: Article Hits -- this is the number of hits to a given journal's full text articles. This does not include front matter or front pages of the projects, nor does it count illustration pages.
IMAGES: Article-Related Graphics -- this is a count of the number of hits in a given journal in your domain to "meaningful graphics" (logos, buttons, and other graphics characteristics of our site design are not included). For some journals (such as American Journal of Mathematics), "page images" are used because of the complexity of the material; for these, an "image" is equivalent to an "article."
OTHER: A combination of Journal Informational Page Hits and hits to pages that didn't fit the naming-convention pattern of the other three categories. We are striving to pare these down by improving the statistics algorithms, restructuring file naming conventions, and other means. These are still "meaningful" hits, which may include multimedia, active images, pages describing the journal, indexing/abstracting information, even editorial boards.
TOCS: Table of Contents Hits -- this count represents the number of hits to a given journal's tables of contents. Please note that TOCs are volume-level, thus each hit represents between 2 and 6 issues.
Note: If your hits look low, please note that some journals have only one volume of material online, while others may have up to seven years' material included in Project Muse. The number of uses is also dependent on the amount of local publicity indicating Project Muse's availability.
Remember in addition that statistics on electronic journal usage do not correlate easily with reshelving statistics that your library may have gathered on JHUP journals, or periodicals in general.
Search engines and the subject headings added to the TOCs may both add and decrease usage of articles in ways which have not yet been adequately assessed, while technical issues such as local drive caching, the absence of "session tracking" standards on the Web as yet, etc. will further affect the size and quality of these statistics in various ways.
Finally, the improvements in the indexing utilities we use at Project Muse is likely to increase the value and use of the available journals; we will be continuing these improvements in the months ahead, including suggested related articles, search term highlighting, subject groupings, and much more.
