This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 02 March 2011.
All research outputs
#9,598,384
of 34,360,889 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#75,284
of 118,929 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#68,245
of 256,075 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#447
of 762 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,360,889 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 118,929 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.1. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% 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 256,075 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 762 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
