When public speak of modern medicine, precision plays one of the most important roles and human lives are directly dependent on it. Hereby, any researches related to medicine are necessary to comply with the top standards. The problem today is that any results of researches can be posted online and used as a reference without being properly checked and approved. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny of Oncotarget perfectly understood this challenge and tried to develop an alternative solution. That’s how a weekly oncology-focused research journal named “Oncotarget” has been established back in 2010. The key principle of this journal is based on Altmetric scores that are used as a quality indicator. That assists both readers and authors to verify publications with Altmetric Article Reports that generate “real-time feedback containing data summary related to a particular publication.” Oncotarget website provides a full publications list with respective scores higher than 100 as well as reports mentioned previously. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny proud to share his new approach and hopes it creates the necessary help to anybody, who has interest in oncology.

“A diagnostic autoantibody signature for primary cutaneous melanoma” has the Altmetric score of 594. This study was released back in 2018 by Oncotarget and completed by various experts from Hollywood Private Hospital, Edith Cowan University, Dermatology Specialist Group, St. John of God Hospital and The University of Western Australia. The introduction of the study mentions that “recent data shows that Australians are four times more likely to develop a cancer of the skin than any other type of cancer”, and shares an insight on melanoma that “is curable by surgical excision in the majority of cases, if detected at an early stage.”
The paper has got an Altmetric score of 594. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny realizes that most of readers are willing to understand the very meaning of it. Based on the Altmetric website, the score relates to “how many people have been exposed to and engaged with a scholarly output.” Hereby, the article about melanoma, was used for citations in various news articles 69 times. Besides that, it was referred to in 2 online blogs, as well as 25 Tweets on Twitter and 1 Facebook post. FOX23 of Tulsa, Oklahoma has headlined their report on July 20, 2018 as “New blood test could detect skin cancer early”, using the main content of Australia study
Another Oncotarget’s research with a top score of 476, is “Biomarkers for early diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma: Do we need another moon-shot,”. This research has appeared in 60 news stories, 1 online blog post and 6 Twitter posts. The majority of public may have seen a short overview only, however those who visit Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny at Oncotarget, do get useful scientific facts. Oncotarget is glad to have the chance to share with online viewers this highly appreciated and top-quality information, that is trustworthy and reliable.
