Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 25. 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 05 May 2026.
All research outputs
#1,877,011
of 33,666,858 outputs
Outputs from Nature
#45,197
of 116,150 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,469
of 55,781 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature
#55
of 403 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 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 116,150 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 96.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% 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 55,781 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 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 403 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
