Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 53. 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 July 2025.
All research outputs
#984,798
of 32,982,738 outputs
Outputs from Nature Genetics
#1,670
of 8,590 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,984
of 130,324 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Genetics
#3
of 72 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,982,738 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,590 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 44.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% 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 130,324 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 72 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 95% of its contemporaries.
