Abstract

During the nineteenth century, scientific expeditions travelled across Brazil investigating its fauna, flora and natural geological resources. By examining letters, reports, travelogues and illustrations of that time, it is possible to picture those expeditions, the naturalists themselves and the assistants who accompanied them, as well as something of society in nineteenth century Brazil. Our research focuses on the iconography of these travelers. These images help us to understand the way these traveling naturalists viewed nature, the men living in the interior and the indigenous peoples. By comparing eight images selected to illustrate the travelers' campsites we sought to observe their similarities and differences, revealing what they tell us about these travelers, their expeditions and the context in which they worked.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. 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 08 October 2021.
All research outputs
#4,337,903
of 25,707,225 outputs
Outputs from História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos
#315
of 1,627 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#51,191
of 277,502 outputs
Outputs of similar age from História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos
#6
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,707,225 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,627 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% 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 277,502 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
