The Top 5 Articles of The Plant Cell and Plant Physiology in 2018 Based on Altmetric Scores

Happy New Year!  My amazing boss, ASPB’s Director of Publications, Nancy Winchester, would tell me that one only says “Happy New Year” in January of a new year, but I am going to slide in a last one in honor of showcasing the TPC and PP articles with the highest Altmetric scores in 2018.

First of all, you might be wondering what an Altmetric score is.  Officially known as the “Altmetric Attention Score,” this tool measures the attention an article is receiving from a variety of sources (including but not limited to Twitter, blogs, Facebook, LinkedIn, news, post-publication peer reviews, policy documents, etc.).  To learn more about Altmetric, please go to www.altmetric.com.

We are delighted to announce these top 5 TPC articles, according to Altmetric score:

Let’s learn a bit more about these articles:
