Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 183. 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 23 May 2026.
All research outputs
#273,060
of 34,185,767 outputs
Outputs from Nature Communications
#3,894
of 82,080 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,631
of 562,811 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Communications
#108
of 1,416 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,185,767 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 82,080 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 49.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% 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 562,811 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 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,416 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 92% of its contemporaries.
