Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 23. 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 25 November 2025.
All research outputs
#2,013,650
of 33,254,694 outputs
Outputs from Nature
#46,535
of 116,076 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,082
of 47,036 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature
#36
of 307 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,254,694 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 116,076 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 96.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% 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 47,036 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 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 307 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
