In this issue of Immunity, Gerlach et al. (2016) describe three distinct memory CD8(+) T cell subsets based upon expression of the fractalkine receptor CX3CR1. Their findings revise the paradigm of effector and central memory T cells by revealing a subset of CD8(+) memory T cells defined by intermediate levels of expression of CX3CR1 that conducts tissue surveillance.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 30 December 2016.
All research outputs
#23,930,533
of 34,185,767 outputs
Outputs from Immunity
#5,305
of 5,702 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#299,428
of 452,910 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Immunity
#58
of 60 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,185,767 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,702 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 33.1. 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 452,910 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 60 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.
