Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
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 07 March 2025.
All research outputs
#9,306,918
of 28,041,331 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#132,564
of 243,292 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#141,739
of 365,743 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#1,493
of 3,249 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,041,331 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 243,292 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.9. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% 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 365,743 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 60% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3,249 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
