| Abstract |
Data sharing is being increasingly required by journals and has been heralded as a solution to the 'replication crisis'. (i) Review data sharing policies of journals publishing the most metabolomics papers associated with open data and (ii) compare these journals' policies to those that publish the most metabolomics papers. A PubMed search was used to identify metabolomics papers. Metabolomics data repositories were manually searched for linked publications. Journals that support data sharing are not necessarily those with the most papers associated to open metabolomics data. Further efforts are required to improve data sharing in metabolomics. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. 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 06 March 2018.
All research outputs
#2,600,962
of 25,079,131 outputs
Outputs from Metabolomics
#115
of 1,370 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#57,122
of 454,105 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Metabolomics
#3
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,079,131 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,370 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
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 454,105 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
