[Eril-l] Problem accessing Oxford Journals usage stats

Fri Oct 23 06:17:07 PDT 2015

Hi all,

I am seeing a cross between what Bob, Mandy and Cat, and Kate see.

In Firefox 41.0.2 on a Windows 7 computer, I go to http://services.oxfordjournals.org/my_account/. I sign in with my administrative credentials. I click "View Usage Statistics."  I am brought to https://access.oxfordjournals.org/oup/login/local.do?url=http://reports.oxfordjournals.org/Account/ouplogin/. I re-enter my administrative credentials. I select "I am not a robot." I select all of the pictures that have the requested object. I click sign in. I receive the message "The connection was reset." Refreshing the page does not resolve the issue.

However, if I now go back to http://services.oxfordjournals.org/my_account/ and click "View Usage Statistics," everything works and I can access our statistics.

Thank you,

Erin

We are not having problems - here is my experience:

I start with http://services.oxfordjournals.org/my_account/  where I log in with our admin credentials.  I click "View usage stats", and like you Bob, I get passed to https://access.oxfordjournals.org/oup/login/local.do?url=http://reports.oxfordjournals.org/Account/ouplogin/ where I enter our admin credentials again, click the box in the captcha next to "I am not a robot", correctly identify all the images that contain ice cream which gets me a checkmark in the original captcha box, and then I can sign in and pull a usage stats report.

I am using Firefox 41.0.2 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.

Sorry for being no help - I would happily report this to OUP if we were experiencing the same problem.

Best,

Mandi

Steve - I have seen that Captcha error too, but only when I was accessing via EZproxy. But since I shouldn't have to use EZproxy to access usage stats, I haven't bothered to report that issue at this point. I assume it is a similar issue to what occurs with client IDs for the Google Maps API, where the ezproxied institutional domain is not registered for the ID or site key.

Stephanie - at that URL I can log in ok, but then when I click "View usage stats", it takes me to https://access.oxfordjournals.org/oup/login/local.do?url=http://reports.oxfordjournals.org/Account/ouplogin/, where I have to log in again, and that is where things fail.

Cat (off list) - I am not using any proxy when I try to access the stats, so proxies are not a factor.

For those who do also have the problem, could you please report it to OUP, even if you have already done so in the past. OUP thinks our institution is the only one with the problem and, while they have investigated, they keep pushing the issue back to us on that basis.

thanks

Bob

We are experiencing problems with access as well. I tried using the URL mentioned below and our existing credentials didn't work, so I tried to reset our password. At the Forgotten Password or Username page, when I used Safari for Mac and input the correct value in "Username or previously registered email address", I got a message saying "Captcha verification was not successful." But there was no captcha displayed! I switched to Firefox for Mac and this time, saw where the captcha is supposed to be. However, it says "ERROR: Invalid domain for site key".

I guess I'll be submitting a support ticket with them...

Bob et al,

The only URL I have had luck with is http://services.oxfordjournals.org/my_account/  Is this the one you are using now?
