Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 24 March 2023.
All research outputs
#14,234,662
of 23,931,222 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the History of Biology
#384
of 503 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#176,310
of 401,867 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the History of Biology
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,931,222 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 503 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.9. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% 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 401,867 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 53% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
