| Abstract |
This article analyzes the presentation of pharmacology as a science in the textbook by Louis Goodman and Alfred Gilman, updated and reprinted many times between 1941 and 2006. In the first editions, pharmacology was characterized as the science of drugs and related to other areas of knowledge; the history of drug development, the role of this science in its social context and its relationship with industry were stressed. In the following editions, these aspects were minimized, almost disappearing in the 11th (2006). The treatment of historical aspects may contribute to understanding the development of pharmacology, as well as the material on relationships with industry and society is important when reflecting on the criteria for using drugs. |

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 01 January 2016.
All research outputs
#2,650,855
of 25,457,297 outputs
Outputs from História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos
#99
of 1,628 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#22,132
of 208,944 outputs
Outputs of similar age from História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos
#2
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,457,297 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 1,628 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% 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 208,944 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 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
