Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 23. 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 08 September 2026.
All research outputs
#1,858,084
of 28,812,439 outputs
Outputs from Nature Neuroscience
#2,404
of 5,981 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,418
of 47,843 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Neuroscience
#7
of 62 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,812,439 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 5,981 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 60.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% 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 47,843 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 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 62 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.
