This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 04 March 2025.
All research outputs
#9,421,706
of 31,346,776 outputs
Outputs from PLoS Genetics
#5,012
of 9,505 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#58,344
of 220,070 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLoS Genetics
#45
of 76 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 31,346,776 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,505 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.7. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% 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 220,070 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 76 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
