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 25 October 2025.
All research outputs
#160,121
of 34,567,073 outputs
Outputs from Nature
#9,232
of 117,924 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,560
of 336,095 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature
#161
of 971 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,567,073 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 117,924 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 96.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% 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 336,095 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 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 971 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
