An article published in early December in the journal in Cell Death and Disease by Entrop et al. demonstrated that the analysis of the protein BAX in >1400 publications might be flawed (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41419-024-07273-6). Within the first month of publication this article has been accessed more than 19.000 times and reached an Altmetric score of >130 (https://nature.altmetric.com/details/171603502#score).
This places the article into position 1 of all outputs of similar age in Cell Death and Disease, within the top 25% of all articles ever published in Cell Death and Disease and into the top 2 percent of >27.000.000 research outputs tracked by Altmetric.
Altmetric tracks and analyzes online attention to scholarly research outputs, providing insights into their societal impact beyond traditional citation metrics. It gathers data from sources like social media, news outlets, blogs, policy documents, and online reference managers. The Altmetric Attention Score covers the reach and type of engagement a research work has received. By complementing traditional metrics, Altmetric helps researchers, institutions, and funders understand how research resonates with the public, policymakers, and the academic community.
