Scholarly items in repositories often lack reliable indicators on citation counts, attention, and usage that can serve as the basis for comprehensive and recent view of the impact of such items and, as a result, their authors, institutions, and publication platforms.

OpenAIRE works on solutions based on open metrics that are generated according to transparent and standardized procedures and which can be applied on scholarly items in repositories. Such metrics are aggregated and accumulated thanks to the de-duplication routines in OpenAIRE and they are exposed offering reuse and integration in repositories.

The poster focuses on two approaches: the formation of a globally distributed network of usage statistics hubs where COUNTER-compliant usage statistics can be collocated, actually a collaboration activity carried out with EOSC-Hub but also IRUS-UK and La Referencia, and using the Open Citation Corpus as a source for citation counts related to scholarly items in repositories.
