Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. 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 20 October 2010.
All research outputs
#4,362,860
of 25,809,966 outputs
Outputs from International Economics and Economic Policy
#18
of 143 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,670
of 79,956 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Economics and Economic Policy
#1
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,809,966 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 143 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% 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 79,956 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
