Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 18. 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 24 February 2025.
All research outputs
#2,493,519
of 33,666,858 outputs
Outputs from Science
#31,757
of 93,307 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,018
of 69,905 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Science
#60
of 337 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,666,858 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 93,307 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 65.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% 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 69,905 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 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 337 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
