Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
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 08 June 2026.
All research outputs
#22,706,258
of 32,898,806 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#142,917
of 218,584 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#245,220
of 375,698 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#2,206
of 3,246 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,898,806 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 218,584 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.1. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% 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 375,698 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3,246 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
