| Abstract |
The name of Sir Alfred Baring Garrod is linked with the first detection of uric acid in blood and its accumulation in sufferers from gout as well as the formulation of the term rheumatoid arthritis. The disease concept formulated by him initially (especially in Germany) caused confusion and much discussion but has now become accepted worldwide. Garrod's work on gout delivered important contributions to the elucidation of pathophysiological problems of the symptoms. Furthermore, he made a great contribution to the reorganization of the British Pharmacopoeia. One of his sons, the also knighted Sir Archibald Edward Garrod, initially continued the work of his father in the field of rheumatology and thereby made it really known. Later he developed his own research field with the establishment of the genetics of metabolism and introduced here the term inborn errors of metabolism. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 26 December 2018.
All research outputs
#7,454,298
of 22,789,076 outputs
Outputs from Zeitschrift für Rheumatologie
#92
of 444 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#48,374
of 165,648 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Zeitschrift für Rheumatologie
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,789,076 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 444 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% 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 165,648 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
