This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 23. 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 20 March 2026.
All research outputs
#2,121,131
of 34,413,214 outputs
Outputs from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#1,726
of 7,765 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,242
of 354,017 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#12
of 84 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,413,214 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,765 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 27.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
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 354,017 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 84 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
