Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 66. 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 18 August 2016.
All research outputs
#791,374
of 32,885,570 outputs
Outputs from Nature Communications
#13,396
of 79,609 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#11,524
of 441,788 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Communications
#175
of 762 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,885,570 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 79,609 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 49.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% 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 441,788 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 762 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
