This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 13 June 2018.
All research outputs
#17,999,024
of 28,014,356 outputs
Outputs from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#5,822
of 7,060 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#201,898
of 328,283 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#71
of 90 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,014,356 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,060 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 26.3. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% 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 328,283 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 90 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
