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 24 July 2025.
All research outputs
#25,137,834
of 34,846,597 outputs
Outputs from PLoS Pathogens
#9,629
of 11,351 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#232,478
of 413,735 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLoS Pathogens
#91
of 127 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,846,597 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,351 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 19.3. 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 413,735 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 127 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.
