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 02 June 2025.
All research outputs
#1,009,245
of 33,254,694 outputs
Outputs from Nature Communications
#16,920
of 81,203 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#18,770
of 517,214 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Communications
#330
of 1,608 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,254,694 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 81,203 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 49.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% 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 517,214 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 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,608 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
