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 11 June 2025.
All research outputs
#5,383,977
of 25,223,158 outputs
Outputs from Science
#41,156
of 80,688 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#8,940
of 95,323 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Science
#87
of 244 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,223,158 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 80,688 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 65.3. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% 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 95,323 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 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 244 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
