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 01 January 2025.
All research outputs
#2,852,145
of 33,738,238 outputs
Outputs from Scientific Reports
#25,622
of 181,512 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#29,996
of 303,262 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Scientific Reports
#188
of 1,238 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,738,238 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 181,512 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 18.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% 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 303,262 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 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,238 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
