Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 770. 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 26 February 2024.
All research outputs
#25,612
of 25,738,558 outputs
Outputs from Nature
#2,427
of 98,639 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,006
of 441,479 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature
#91
of 899 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,738,558 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 98,639 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 102.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% 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 441,479 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 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 899 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
