Metrics - OPERAS

Analytics Service

Measuring usage and impact of Open Access content

OPERAS Metrics offers a database of usage and impact information of published Open Access books. Designed with the nuanced needs of Social Sciences and Humanities in mind, this service consolidates diverse data sources into a single, transparent interface. Metrics is not only displayed for the publisher’s website, but also aggregated with those of other sites where a book is available.
