Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. 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 01 January 2025.
All research outputs
#4,336,229
of 28,538,115 outputs
Outputs from Trends in Ecology & Evolution
#1,714
of 3,426 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#13,554
of 167,182 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Trends in Ecology & Evolution
#12
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,538,115 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,426 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 31.1. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% 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 167,182 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
