IRUS-ANZ

Last update: 3rd Jan 2022

Welcome to IRUS-ANZ

IRUS-ANZ (Institutional Repository Usage Statistics Australia and New Zealand) provides COUNTER-conformant usage statistics for all content downloaded from participating ANZ institutional repositories (IRs). IRUS-ANZ is a Jisc service, supported in Australia and New Zealand by CAVAL. It is based on Jisc’s IRUS-UK service, which has been in place in the UK since July 2012.

IRUS-ANZ is changing. From January 2022, new monthly data will only be added to the IRUS R5 service and this site will be archived. All data up to December 2021 will remain available on this site.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

We've put together a table showing the usage of coronavirus related content in IRUS, featuring items in IRUS-UK, CORE, IRUS-ANZ and IRUS-US, which can be viewed at https://irus.jisc.ac.uk/coronavirus.

facilitating comparable, standards-based measurements
providing an evidence base for repositories to develop policies and initiatives to help support their objectives
providing consistent and comprehensive statistics, presenting opportunities for benchmarking at a national level
developing a user community that will ensure that the service is responsive to user requirements
