Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection is an ejournal collection provided by EBSCO.
COUNTER 5 reports are designed to measure usage for content such as databases, ejournals and ebooks and so should be used for this collection.
Use the Database Master Report. For ejournals our preferred usage metric is Unique Item Requests.
