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 21 March 2022.
All research outputs
#4,608,537
of 27,696,488 outputs
Outputs from BioScience
#1,101
of 2,774 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#97,981
of 534,914 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BioScience
#11
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,696,488 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,774 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% 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 534,914 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 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
