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 23 April 2025.
All research outputs
#982,251
of 34,245,361 outputs
Outputs from Current Biology
#2,995
of 17,215 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#15,298
of 361,639 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Biology
#59
of 217 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,245,361 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 17,215 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 62.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% 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 361,639 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 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 217 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 72% of its contemporaries.
