<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Thank you for raising the issue. The COUNTER TR_J series of standard views (TR_J1, TR_J2, TR_J3, TR_J4) are designed to reflect only usage of materials from journals (Data_Type=Journal), and as such
content from all other serials should be excluded. We have a separate data type (Data_Type=Newspaper_or_Newsletter) for news and magazine content, which appears in the Title Report (TR) but not in any standard views.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">One of the primary reasons we encourage everyone to use the Title Report over standard views is that it provides a fuller view of usage and demonstrates the value of all serials, not just journals.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m interested in this topic as well. My experience is also that generally the TR_J1 standard view shows usage of titles with data_type=journal according to the TR report (as opposed to newspaper, book, etc.), rather
than all usage of “e-serial” or ISSN-bearing publications. In practice, this is a reporting challenge, in cases where an external party requests total “e-serial” usage (including magazines, newspapers, yearbooks, proceedings…) and says to cite the TR_J1 and/or
TR_J3 report. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">TR_J1 is “Journal requests.” It appears to me that most vendors do not include newspapers in this report—newspapers appear in the TR master report but not TR_J1. At least one of our vendors, though, NewsBank, does include
newspapers in their TR_J1 data. Are they wrong to do so? Would it be better to exclude the NewsBank TR_J1 reports entirely when reporting on overall TR_J1 numbers? We only have a newspaper collection from them—there may be a few journals included in the collection,
but it would be minor, and we have very large NewsBank numbers from e.g. our local newspaper.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
