Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1485. 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 27 July 2026.
All research outputs
#9,824
of 34,599,069 outputs
Outputs from Nature Communications
#201
of 83,485 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110
of 338,208 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Communications
#4
of 882 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,599,069 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 83,485 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 49.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% 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 338,208 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 882 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
