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 04 February 2025.
All research outputs
#379,106
of 33,059,767 outputs
Outputs from Nature Climate Change
#977
of 4,938 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,356
of 301,086 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Climate Change
#20
of 112 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,059,767 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,938 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 124.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% 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 301,086 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 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 112 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
