Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 70. 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 11 April 2024.
All research outputs
#622,427
of 25,706,302 outputs
Outputs from Nature Communications
#10,738
of 58,155 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,787
of 279,093 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Communications
#101
of 811 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,706,302 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 58,155 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 55.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% 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 279,093 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 811 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
