Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 38. 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 16 December 2025.
All research outputs
#1,213,830
of 28,731,329 outputs
Outputs from Nature Medicine
#3,016
of 10,329 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#4,602
of 139,208 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Medicine
#7
of 116 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,731,329 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 10,329 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 110.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% 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 139,208 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 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 116 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
