Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 16 June 2015.
All research outputs
#7,123,919
of 25,389,116 outputs
Outputs from Designs, Codes and Cryptography
#36
of 279 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,398
of 275,670 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Designs, Codes and Cryptography
#1
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,389,116 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 279 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% 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 275,670 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 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 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
