Abstract This paper points out that, due to a flaw in the sender's encoding, the receiver in Gao et al.'s controlled quantum secret direct communication (CQSDC) protocol [Chin. Phys.14 (2005), No. 5, p. 893] can reveal the whole secret message without the permission from the controller. An improvement is proposed to avoid this flaw.
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.
