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 18 August 2024.
All research outputs
#24,136,614
of 34,427,821 outputs
Outputs from PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
#8,691
of 11,456 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#177,932
of 335,438 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
#72
of 171 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,427,821 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,456 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.0. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% 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 335,438 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 171 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
