Abstract
This paper undertakes a statistical analysis of citations and readership of papers published in the journal Constitutional Political Economy. Its focus is not the usual attempt to assess the relative impact of articles or authors but rather to suggest that readership (downloads) is a more general measure of impact and one that should be given more attention. Downloads are not simply a product of citations; nor are citations a simple product of downloads. They are distinct measures of impact. Papers and authors are evidently judged one at a time by their readers and by those who subsequently cite papers that they have read.
