| Abstract |
Prokaryote viruses include 14 officially accepted families and at least five other potential families awaiting classification. Approximately 5,500 prokaryote viruses have been examined in the electron microscope. Classification has a predictive value and is invaluable to control experimental techniques and results. In describing viruses, the choice of methods depends on structure and taxonomical position of viruses. The study of isometric, filamentous, and pleomorphic viruses requires more detailed investigations than that of tailed species. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 15 December 2012.
All research outputs
#15,258,711
of 22,689,790 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#5,294
of 13,045 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#141,527
of 168,814 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#125
of 157 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,689,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,045 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 168,814 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 157 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
