Liposomes are spherical vesicles with a wide range of sizes from nano- to micrometer scale. For the past 7-8 decades, these vesicles have occupied the interest of a variety of scientists due to its physical, chemical, and mathematical properties and, to say the least, for its immense utility and potential as delivery vehicles for toxic and nontoxic excipients into biological tissues. Methods related to selection of reagents for creation of specific liposomes of certain properties are beyond the scope of this chapter, but here, we would outline a simplistic protocol to prepare and qualify an uniform batch of simple liposome with basic cargo. This chapter will attempt to provide the reader with a starting point for this immensely potent tool to build upon the right kind of liposome, appropriate for their studies.

Attention Score in Context
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 23 January 2019.
All research outputs
#7,532,940
of 22,985,065 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#2,334
of 13,149 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#120,310
of 315,315 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#31
of 270 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,985,065 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 13,149 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% 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 315,315 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 270 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
