Do frequently visited online articles become frequently cited journal articles?
An article in the British Medical Journal suggests this based on analysis of the hit counts and subsequent citations of BMJ articles. Of course as Richard Kennedy points out, if web hits started to be taken as an early indicator of an article’s impact authors would then have an incentive to try to boost them artificially. There was quite a lively debate about the significance of the paper’s findings.

Can I just ask what led you to find this?
(and on a related note, citation analysis and search engines share some of the same mathematical bases, so I’m always hearing sutff about it)

Short shory from personal site: we have some 15 papers on a site we use for disemination of results (ipop.org.uk). I monitor downloads. Each paper gets downloaded an average of 20 times a week: 20 times a week !! Impact factor so far, for published material? Well, let’s talk about something else, please. Sure, it takes time. But alas, I reckon that different disciplines may have different ‘conversion rates’. Just a though, very interesting topic by the by. Greetings, Wainer (BTW, Elizabeth, have you heard that search engines under-sample older material? ((Paul Wouters’s research)) That mihgt negatively impact on citation scores? The contrary as citation indexes, as far as I’m aware)
