| Abstract |
Analysis of drugs of abuse constitutes a major portion of work for many crime laboratories. The most important and most utilized technique for the screening and identification of solid-dosage drugs is gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A detailed practical procedure is described for the rapid screening and identification by GC-MS of most drugs of abuse that are commonly encountered in forensic drug laboratories. |

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 12 July 2023.
All research outputs
#16,330,881
of 24,063,285 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#5,668
of 13,574 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#277,402
of 449,687 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#589
of 1,479 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,063,285 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,574 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% 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 449,687 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,479 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
