The Subsessions & Queries report shows the number
of subsessions and queries for the time period indicated. To see statistics for
a different time period, click the product link at the top of the page. Then select
a different time period and click Submit.
Usage Summary Table
The Summary table shows statistics for Subsessions
and Queries. At the bottom of the table
are two rows showing Total Use and
Average Use. Note that statistics count both roaming and non-roaming usage. To see the counts for roaming usage only, return to Usage Report Home and select Roaming Usage under Supplemental Reports.
If you selected the option to Include User Credentials on the Select a Report page,
then the table will have an additional column with this heading: Credentials. To the right of the credential in the same row are usage statistics
for that credential. The date of usage is in the row above and to the left of
the credential.
For example, this report shows that during December
2009, the person(s) using a computer whose IP address is 123.45.678 logged on
6 times and submitted 48 queries:

Several products have constituent editions.
Subsession & Queries reports for these products show the number of subsessions
and queries executed in each edition selected by users. Be aware that the aggregate
totals of queries on the Subsession & Queries report may be smaller than the
total number of queries shown on the Summary or Custom Summary report for the
same date. The reason is that query data on Summary reports count queries for
which no editions were specified, in addition to queries for which editions were
specified.
For example, suppose an institution subscribes to
one edition of Web of Science, Science Citation Index Expanded,
and this is the Subsessions & Queries report for November 2010 :
| Date
|
SCI |
| Subsessions |
Queries |
| Nov 2010 |
10000 |
5000 |
And here is a Custom Summary report for the same
institution showing subsessions and queries for November 2010:
| Date
|
Subsessions |
Queries |
| Nov 2010 |
10000 |
6000 |
| Total Use |
10000 |
6000 |
| Average Use |
10000 |
6000 |
What accounts for the difference in query counts
between the two reports is that the custom report includes queries for which no
edition was specified. Most of these queries are links from other databases to
Web of Science. For example, if a user clicks the Related Records
link on the Full Record page in BIOSIS Previews, that link to Web
of Science counts as a query in Web of Science, but it does not
count as a query in a specific edition of Web of Science.
Usage Summary Graph
Usage data are plotted on a two-dimensional graph.
The values on the Y-axis (ordinate) show the usage numbers for the dates plotted
on the X-axis (abscissa).
Note: If usage statistics are broken down by user credential, no graph will appear. If you want to see usage data
plotted on a graph, click the product link at the top of the page. Clear
the Include User Credentials check box, and then click Submit.
