Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 37. 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 15 September 2025.
All research outputs
#1,294,168
of 31,634,113 outputs
Outputs from Nature Genetics
#2,089
of 8,437 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,734
of 124,083 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Genetics
#6
of 70 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 31,634,113 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,437 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 44.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% 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 124,083 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 70 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
