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 13 September 2025.
All research outputs
#19,010,308
of 29,282,182 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#174,395
of 252,773 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#192,994
of 380,798 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#4,952
of 5,530 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,282,182 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 252,773 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.7. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% 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 380,798 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5,530 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
