Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. 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 March 2026.
All research outputs
#6,693,518
of 34,563,371 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#59,931
of 119,181 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#109,634
of 480,797 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#644
of 952 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,563,371 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 119,181 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.1. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% 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 480,797 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 952 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
