Relative Citation Ratio
The Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) represents a citation-based measure of scientific influence of one or more articles. It is calculated as the cites/year of each paper, normalized to the citations per year received by NIH-funded papers in the same field and year.
Human, Animal, and Molecular Cellular Scores
Articles are assigned scores in three categories (Human, Animal, and Molecular/Cellular Biology) based on the number of Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms they have that fall into each of these categories.
Approximate Potential to Translate (APT)
The Approximate Potential to Translate (APT) score estimates the likelihood that the knowledge from that paper will be used and cited in later clinical articles. It is generated by training a machine learning model with information describing the Human, Animal, and Molecular/Cellular scores of the article in question as well as those of the later articles that cite the paper.
