This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 28 April 2025.
All research outputs
#20,048,128
of 32,934,614 outputs
Outputs from Biology Letters
#3,149
of 3,916 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#196,193
of 456,696 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biology Letters
#36
of 43 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,934,614 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,916 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 60.2. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% 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 456,696 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 43 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
