Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 05 October 2026.
All research outputs
#28,761,024
of 34,531,973 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit
#202
of 238 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#268,314
of 341,503 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit
#6
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,531,973 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 238 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% 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 341,503 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
