#7,678,024
of 29,695,593 outputs
Outputs from Biological Journal of the Linnean Society
#921
of 3,575 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,058
of 140,707 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biological Journal of the Linnean Society
#4
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,695,593 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,575 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% 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 140,707 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 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
