The OpenURL Router Data is derived from the logs of the OpenURL Router, which directs user requests for academic papers to the appropriate institutional resolver. It enables institutions to register their resolver once only, at openurl.ac.uk, and service providers may then use openurl.ac.uk as the “base URL” for OpenURL links for UK HE and FE customers.

This is the product of JISC project activity, and provides a unique dataset. The data captured varies from request to request since different users enter different information into requests. Further information on the details of the dataset, sample files and the data itself is available at openurl.ac.uk/doc/data.html. The team would like to thank all of the institutions involved in this initiative for their participation.
