Abstract
Abstract: The use of citation counts to assess the impact of research articles is
well established. However, the citation impact of an article can only be measured
several years after it has been published. As research articles are increasingly
accessed through the Web, the number of times an article is downloaded can be
instantly recorded and counted. One would expect the number of times an article is
read to be related both to the number of times it is cited and to how old the
article is. This paper analyses how short-term Web usage impact predicts
medium-term citation impact. The physics e-print archive -- arXiv.org -- is used to
test this.
