| Abstract |
In January 2007, the Paediatric Regulation entered into force and established the Paediatric Committee (PDCO) within the European Medicines Agency. The goal of the PDCO is to improve the health of the children of Europe by increasing high-quality research for medicinal products and promoting the development and authorization of such medicines at the EU level. A major function of the PDCO is to formulate and authorize Paediatric Investigation Plans and Paediatric Use Marketing Authorisations. The EU's Seventh Framework Programme for Research has facilitated the establishment of consortia whose ultimate goal is to answer important clinical questions involving medicines commonly used "off-label", in children. The benefits of these consortia include enhanced collaboration amongst paediatricians, scientists and small to medium enterprises whose ultimate goal is to obtain an authorization for a new indication or formulation for use in the paediatric population. It will be interesting in a number of years time to measure the success of this very important European initiative. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 August 2013.
All research outputs
#18,342,133
of 22,715,151 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Pediatrics
#3,095
of 3,674 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#147,741
of 197,294 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Pediatrics
#17
of 51 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,715,151 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,674 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 197,294 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 51 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
