- Full Text: Currently, COUNTER is considered the standard. If access figures are published that were not determined by this standard, the documen-tation must contain a notice stating that these figures are not compara-ble to those of other services. This is especially the case if access figures are provided for each document. This requirement only applies if statistics are published.
