Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 40. 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 01 October 2020.
All research outputs
#1,033,435
of 25,559,053 outputs
Outputs from Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy
#5
of 40 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#21,922
of 359,428 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy
#1
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,559,053 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 40 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.2. This one scored the same or higher as 35 of them.
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 359,428 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 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 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
