Each quarter, we’re sharing a fully interactive report from Altmetric Explorer to showcase the top 10 trending articles from across our publications, as ranked by Altmetric Attention Score.

Altmetric compiles metrics and qualitative data to complement traditional, citation-based metrics. Sourced from across the web, altmetrics indicate how often articles are discussed and used around the world.

Our journals integrate Altmetric data, so publishing with us enables authors to see first-hand the attention their work is gaining from across the community. Captured in the form of the Altmetric donut, Attention Scores indicate citations on Wikipedia, mainstream media coverage, mentions on social networks, discussions on research blogs, and many other online sources.

Showcasing top trending articles from the past three months (January–March 2023), this edition includes work on mass spectrometry, Parkinson’s disease, mechanobiology and mechanotherapeutics, cell death, and Alzheimer’s disease.
