*A note on Most Read and Most Recently Cited Articles:

The Most Read Articles list for each publication is automatically updated on an ongoing basis according to user downloads on the platform. Please note that this list only reflects papers that have been downloaded from the new platform. To learn how to pull full usage data for all of your articles, please consult the section titled Collecting Usage Data.

The Most Recently Cited Articles list uses CrossRef cited-by data (downloaded on the 1st and 15th of each month) to automatically identify the papers that have received the most new citations over the last month. The articles that appear here are not those that have received the most citations in total, but rather the articles which have been cited most often most recently.

How do I access the publisher administration dashboard?

BioOne Publishers have access to the publisher administration dashboard. This dashboard allows you to view your account details, as well as pull usage reports for your publications. To access the publisher administration dashboard, log into your account. Once logged in, click the arrow next to your name. The arrow can be found on the black bar at the top of the screen.

A drop down menu will appear: select Publisher Administration.

The publisher administration dashboard has four tabs; the two most relevant are

• Account Details, which allows you to view the name and institution associated wtih this account.
• COUNTER Reports, which allows you to pull usage reports. Read How do I pull usage reports? for more information.

If  Publisher Administration is not an option and you believe it should be, or to add or remove administrative privileges to users from your institution, please contact us.

Please note that you can update the logo that appears in the "Access provided by" pop-up for users accessing content through a referring URL ( Society member access) by visiting the Account Details tab in the Publisher Dashboard. This is not the logo that appears on your society's individual page or in Browse. To change that logo, please contact us.
