This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 21 February 2017.
All research outputs
#9,392,414
of 31,211,351 outputs
Outputs from PLoS Pathogens
#6,113
of 10,531 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,794
of 113,339 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLoS Pathogens
#17
of 35 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 31,211,351 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,531 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 19.6. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 113,339 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 35 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 51% of its contemporaries.
