Table 5. Comparing the proportion of FP7 funded projects and their acknowledgement in PLOS articles by funding programmes
For every PLOS contribution in our sample, we were able to collect usage data from both the PLOS journal website (counter) and from PubMed Central (pmc). How- ever, coverage within the ALM categories of citation and social media events is more heterogeneous: between 43 % (pubmed) and 63 % (crossref) of the articles were cited.
Social media services mentioned between 8 % (comments on PLOS articles) and 81 % (Mendeley readerships) articles granting FP7 support. Note that the collection of Twitter mentions within PLOS ALM started on June 1st, 2012.
Data from the PLOS ALM API furthermore allows us to compare the occurrences of ALM event types for every day since publication. Figure 2 on the facing page de- picts article age (in days since publication) and total views on the PLOS website. As a third variable we compared Scopus citations and Facebook shares received for each FP7 funded research article in PLOS journals (mapped as point size). Citation rates are
