An editorial in Nature Neuroscience [h/t: writedit] describes an in-house study they undertook to compare
citations to individual articles and reviews in Nature Neuroscience (February-December, 2005) with download statistics from our website. Downloads represented the total PDF page views for any particular manuscript within the first 90 days of being posted online (including Advanced Online Publication (AOP) time).
Interesting. I’ve been pondering the potential value of article download stats for some time now so I’m intrigued by any investigation into such metrics. Perhaps this will be the start of a trend. (I will warn you in advance, however, not to expect an actual study as such out of this narrowly constrained slice of data.)
