This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. 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 27 March 2026.
All research outputs
#3,393,216
of 34,568,501 outputs
Outputs from Nature Communications
#40,149
of 83,379 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#32,434
of 383,769 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Communications
#1,032
of 3,094 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,568,501 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 83,379 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 49.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% 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 383,769 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 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3,094 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 66% of its contemporaries.
