This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 15 July 2025.
All research outputs
#12,436,002
of 34,545,128 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#108,652
of 225,052 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#87,347
of 257,125 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#989
of 1,651 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,545,128 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 225,052 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.2. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 257,125 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,651 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
