Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 04 December 2025.
All research outputs
#12,425,654
of 34,518,147 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#83,878
of 119,104 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#142,978
of 423,481 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#713
of 942 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,518,147 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 119,104 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.1. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% 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 423,481 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 942 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
