Changes to comScore (sitestat) and Web Analytics service

Dear Web Publishers,

After much investigation by IS and due to declining usage over the past year, from Saturday 9th August, comScore (Sitestat) will no longer be available for Web Publishers and will be removed from our service portfolio. This means that publishers will not be able to access the comScore website and web analytics.

We ask that any publishers making use of the PDF tracking functionality with comScore, remove the custom code from their website (each link will start with https://uk.sitestat.com/kent) otherwise we will incur additional costs. This will likely affect very few publishers as Google Analytics has been adopted by many for their tracking requirements.

In the short term if you require access to web analytics please contact websupport@kent.ac.uk and they will have an account set up for you.

We are in the process of introducing Google Analytics into our service portfolio and expect to have it fully supported in the Autumn. This will provide you with more assistance when running queries on your website and how to interpret and use the data. In the meantime, if you require assistance there is online documentation, video tutorials and forums to help you get started just by doing a simple web search.

If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact us.

Kind regards,
Web Support
