Abstract In this paper, we study the dynamical behaviour of an epidemic on complex networks with population mobility. In our model, the number of people on each node is unrestricted as the nodes of the network are considered as cities, communities, and so on. Because people can travel between different cities, we study the effect of a population's mobility on the epidemic spreading. In view of the population's mobility, we suppose that the susceptible individual can be infected by an infected individual in the same city or other connected cities. Simulations are presented to verify our analysis.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
