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 03 June 2025.
All research outputs
#24,777,955
of 34,391,611 outputs
Outputs from PLoS Genetics
#8,147
of 9,872 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#196,672
of 357,579 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLoS Genetics
#44
of 56 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,391,611 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 9,872 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.9. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% 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 357,579 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 56 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
