This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 20 September 2011.
All research outputs
#18,871,553
of 27,370,655 outputs
Outputs from PLoS Biology
#10,451
of 10,950 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#94,770
of 113,359 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLoS Biology
#56
of 70 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,370,655 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,950 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 42.0. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% 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 113,359 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 70 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
