A librarian listserv I'm on has had a discussion lately about getting data on number of times an article has been accessed. The ACS, for example, posts data on the most accessed articles in their journals, so it's logical to conclude that all access data should be available. But it's not clear where to look.
One respondent noted that journal editors sometimes send this information to authors. So, while it's not published, it might be available to the authors via the journal editors.
It's easy to imagine that this would vary from publisher to publisher, but I didn't realize this kind of information might be available at all. I field questions from published faculty and grad students regularly who are looking for any kind of data on their work to see how often it's being cited or read. This is something to keep in mind.
