OpenAIRE Provide

The resources of the OpenAIRE UsageCounts Service are available through the OpenAIRE PROVIDE product, which is serving the content providers.

“OpenAIRE PROVIDE is a product that enables data providers to register and observe their data activity on OpenAIRE, by accessing the OpenAIRE Provide Dashboard”.

The OpenAIRE Provide supports the following functionalities for the UsageCounts Service:

  1. A registration process to the service for repository managers.
  2. The required resources and instructions to deploy the service.
  3. Visualization and exporting tools for publishing and downloading usage statistics reports.

Important: All the information that content providers offer to OpenAIRE, is first validated, enriched, and then indexed on the OpenAIRE PROVIDE. Only then, after this verification and if needed, enhancement process, the metadata records are indexed on OpenAIRE PROVIDE, ensuring transparency, security, and trust of data.
