Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. 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 10 June 2026.
All research outputs
#3,245,667
of 34,361,833 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#35,029
of 118,929 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#15,768
of 250,146 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#182
of 730 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,361,833 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
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 has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% 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 250,146 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 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 730 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
