Abstract

Caenorhabditis elegans is particularly suitable for obtaining quantitative data about behavior, neuronal activity, gene expression, ecological interactions, quantitative traits, and much more. To exploit the full potential of these data one seeks to interpret them within quantitative models. Using two examples from the C. elegans literature we briefly explore several types of modeling approaches relevant to worm biology, and show how they might be used to interpret data, formulate testable hypotheses, and suggest new experiments. We emphasize that the choice of modeling approach is strongly dependent on the questions of interest and the type of available knowledge.

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 16 October 2015.
All research outputs
#13,098,127
of 22,829,683 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#3,409
of 13,125 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#167,133
of 353,131 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#228
of 997 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,683 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,125 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% 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 353,131 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 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 997 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
