Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 22. 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 26 March 2024.
All research outputs
#2,105,793
of 33,924,920 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#23,143
of 222,175 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,138
of 375,104 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#609
of 5,952 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,924,920 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 222,175 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% 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 375,104 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 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5,952 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
