Hi Beth,
I don't know if the below will help, but perhaps.
If the title is a hybrid one, then activity on the non-OA content should be in the TR_J1, while the OA content should not.
Also content published before a journal became fully OA might still be behind the paywall and is thus included.
Lastly some non-research content in OA journals might be behind the paywall - editorial or commissioned content - and thus eligible for TR_J1.
You can see the split between OA and non-OA content by creating a custom TR report where you include the element Access_Type. Each title will then be reported with separate numbers for OA_Gold and Controlled. To see the specific articles you'd need to use some type of Item level report.

Subject: COUNTER5 experts
Has anyone noticed that some vendors provide TR_J1(Excluding OA Gold) reports that include OA usage as well as subscription title usage? I'm noticing this in more than a few of our packages.
I thought that COUNTER report excludes usage from OA titles -- am I correct or do I not understand what I'm doing (which has happened before!).
This is just creating more work for me to separate usage out from the OA vs. the paid titles.
Thanks.
