Didn't Garfield pioneer this area by looking at citation indexing?  
Doesn't Science Citation Indexing still put out numbers on what journals
and what articles have the most impact in a field?  Are these not better,
more direct, measures than how often a journal is accessed?  It would
appear that accessing may be related to the impact of a journal or
article, but what we would like to know for understanding progress and
development in a field is impact, or some such measure. Aren't citation
measures available to librarians for free from SCI?  And SSCi? dh
