We’ve compiled lists of the five most-read analytical chemistry articles that appeared in each ACS Publications journal in 2016, including research, reviews, perspectives and editorial pieces.
There are lots of different ways to look at the reach of an article. You can look at citations, Altmetric Attention Scores, awards, and more. One way to consider the influence of an article is just by looking at how many people chose to read it. To that end, we’ve compiled lists of the five most-read chemistry articles that appeared in each ACS Publications journal in 2016, including research, reviews, perspectives and editorial pieces. These lists were not chosen by the journal’s editors and should not be taken as a “best of” list for 2016, but rather as an interesting perspective on where the chemistry community allocated their attention over the past year.
Of course, certain factors such as publishing earlier in the year, being featured in a special issue or being made open access may influence which items appeared on this list. To that end, ACS Axial will be publishing monthly updates on the most read chemistry articles of 2017 all year long. Don’t see your favorite papers on the list? Feel free to share your picks in the comments below.
