How do I transition to COUNTER 5.1 in CELUS?
To help our users seamlessly transition to COUNTER version 5.1, CELUS provides the option to clone your existing COUNTER 5 credentials with an automatically updated SUSHI URL. Please note that the cloned credentials will only function for publishers already offering COUNTER 5.1 reports.
Which publishers are already providing COUNTER 5.1 reports?
You can find the newest information about which publishers already provide 5.1 reports on our website: https://www.counter51.info/. Please note that this database is updated once per day.
You can also find out which publishers already provide COUNTER 5.1 reports in the COUNTER Registry:
Is cloning my credentials going to work for all publishers?
Even though it is recommended by COUNTER Metrics that the publishers keep the same credentials for COUNTER 5.1 API as for SUSHI API of COUNTER 5, some publishers may not adhere to this practice and require users to generate new credentials. Once this information becomes available to CELUS, we will publish it here.
HOW do I clone my version 5 credentials to COUNTER 5.1?
Please note that broken COUNTER 5 credentials cannot be cloned. Debug your COUNTER 5 credentials before cloning them to COUNTER 5.1.
1. Go to "SUSHI Management" in the left side menu and choose the SUSHI credentials which you want to clone. Credentials, which can already be safely cloned and used for harvesting are marked with a bold blue arrow next to the COUNTER Version number. These publishers are already providing the new reports, as verified by our community.
Credentials, which can be cloned, but their publishers are not yet providing the new reports (or we do not know about it yet), are marked with an empty blue arrow.
Broken credentials are marked with a red arrow icon.
1.b) Alternatively, you can choose all credentials that are available to be cloned to 5.1 by clicking the "Potential issue" dropdown and choose "Can be cloned to 5.1".
3. Click the box next to your chosen credentials and click the "CLONE TO 5.1" button:
4. Keep the "Start harvesting" slider enabled if you want to verify the credentials and start harvesting immediately, and click "CLONE TO 5.1":
5. A harvesting dialog will open. You can choose the start and end date here. We recommend to start with only one month, to verify the functionality of the credentials as fast as possible. Click "Start XX downloads":
6. Once the reports are harvested (as marked by the green arrows), you can close the dialog:
7. You can now see your cloned credentials. By clicking "Overview", you can see the harvests.
Please note that your COUNTER 5 credentials are still existing and continue to harvest reports until you disable them or the publishers stops providing the reports.
