Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 501. 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 16 February 2026.
All research outputs
#65,796
of 34,411,289 outputs
Outputs from Cell Metabolism (Science Direct)
#112
of 3,806 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,143
of 355,920 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cell Metabolism (Science Direct)
#4
of 61 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,411,289 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,806 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 76.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% 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 355,920 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 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 61 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
