Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 152. 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 28 March 2024.
All research outputs
#275,959
of 25,734,859 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#5,076
of 103,632 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#5,602
of 366,394 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#99
of 949 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,734,859 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 103,632 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 39.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% 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 366,394 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 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 949 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.
