Read 2018 polymer articles in ACS Journals with the highest Altmetric scores.
The Altmetric Attention Score gives researchers the ability to view a more organized and comprehensive record of an article’s online shares, while concurrently tracking discussions of a research article’s findings and results. Altmetric Attention Scores reflect a variety of sources, including social media, traditional media (both mainstream and science specific), online reference managers, forums, and Wikipedia. The information is aggregated to produce a score that is a measure of the quality and quantity of attention received by an article, i.e. how an article is “trending”.
ACS Macro Letters, Biomacromolecules, and Macromolecules make up the ACS Publications’ core portfolio of polymer and macromolecular science journals. Where Biomacromolecules publishes research at the unique intersection of polymer science and biology, Macromolecules publishes research on all fundamental aspects of macromolecular science and holds the position as the most-cited original research journal in the field. ACS Macro Letters is the highest-impact original research journal in all of polymer chemistry, and publishes rapid communications that address challenges in biomedicine, energy, sustainability and beyond.
Given the impressive journals that make up this core portfolio, many articles trend well online due to interest in the topics covered. Read the polymer papers from 2018 with the highest Altmetric scores.
