Hi  Oliver,

 

Thank you for you quick response.

 

I found in the appendix D, COUNTER Code of Practice 4  (Pag 3. http://www.projectcounter.org/r4/APPD.pdf )  the following screen shot.

 

As per my understanding the partial downloads should not be counted.

 

As per your previous email   “…prevents the entire PDF from being returned. If so, COUNTER states that what is counted is Full Text Requests.”

 

So I’m a little confuse now . Could you please confirm if we should or not count the partial PDF downloads?

Thanks in advance,

 

Thanks,

Anna

By partial PDF download, I assume you are referring to the situation where a user chooses to download the PDF version of the article; however, closes the browser or takes some other action that prevents the entire PDF from being returned.  If so, COUNTER states that what is counted is Full Text Requests.  If the request was successful, then you count the action.  There is no requirement that the browser return the entire PDF.  Page 25 of Release 4 of the Code of Practice attempts to clarify this by describing the return codes to count as successful Full Text Requests...

 

Return codes and time filters

a. Only succesful and valid requests should be counted. For web server logs sucessful requests are

those with specific NCSA return codes. (200 and 304).

 

If you have some other definition for partial PDF download, please provide more details and we can work with COUNTER to get an answer.

 

Thanks

Oliver

Dear all,

 

I went through all the documentation and  I couldn’t find  anything about the partial PDF download.

 

Could you please let us know if the partial PDF Download should be counted or not for the COUNTER reports?

 

Thanks for your help in advance,

Anna
