This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 11 July 2011.
All research outputs
#22,530,528
of 27,570,590 outputs
Outputs from PLoS Genetics
#8,224
of 9,128 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#114,759
of 134,225 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLoS Genetics
#118
of 137 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,570,590 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,128 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.6. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% 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 134,225 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 137 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
