This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 16 July 2009.
All research outputs
#9,387,313
of 27,372,766 outputs
Outputs from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#4,703
of 7,341 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#34,773
of 94,242 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#22
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,372,766 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,341 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 25.5. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% 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 94,242 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
