The two publications included in the list are:
- “Structure and Distribution of an Unrecognized Interstitium in Human Tissues,” which was published in March in Scientific Reports. It was ranked number 14 on the list.

Altmetric, which is based in London, tracks and analyzes the online activity around scholarly literature. The firm collates what people are saying about published research outputs in scholarly and non-scholarly forums like the mainstream media, policy documents, social networks, and blogs to provide a more robust picture of the influence and reach of scholarly work.
Altmetric works with some of the biggest publishers, funders, and institutions around the world to deliver this data in an accessible and reliable format.
