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 07 June 2025.
All research outputs
#6,092,839
of 34,358,242 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#57,439
of 118,924 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,735
of 53,141 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#253
of 554 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,358,242 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 118,924 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 50% 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 53,141 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 554 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 53% of its contemporaries.
