| Abstract |
Doxycycline, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, is the most commonly prescribed antibiotic worldwide for treating infectious diseases. It may be delivered orally or intravenously but can lead to gastrointestinal irritation and local inflammation. For treatment of uterine infections, transcervical administration of doxycycline encapsulated in nanoparticles made of biodegradable chitosan may improve sustained delivery of the drug, thereby minimizing adverse effects and improving drug efficacy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 August 2017.
All research outputs
#7,960,512
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Nanomedicine
#940
of 4,123 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#54,464
of 179,215 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Nanomedicine
#23
of 100 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,123 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
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 179,215 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 100 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
