Cambridge tops Altmetric Top 100 again!The 2018 Altmetric Top 100 list has been released, revealing which research captured the public's imagination over the last 12 months. Ten of these top 100 publications are authored by researchers with an affiliation to the University of Cambridge - that's more mentions for Cambridge than for any other institution in the list!
From shocking mortality rates in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria to the spread of fake news online and the Anthropocene, the 2018 Top 100 features many of the year’s most important issues (including a lot about booze). The Altmetric Top 100 list is created by determining the research articles with the most online attention published within the previous year (calculated using altmetrics via the Altmetric Attention Score). The underlying data for 2018 (as well as for previous years) is available on Figshare for you to analyze and explore. |
