Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 118. 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 14 October 2025.
All research outputs
#454,251
of 34,583,980 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#7,470
of 119,213 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#9,480
of 461,963 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#180
of 1,027 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,583,980 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 119,213 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% 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 461,963 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 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,027 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
