Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 64. 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 04 January 2025.
All research outputs
#802,753
of 32,125,052 outputs
Outputs from The Conversation
#92,791
of 200,727 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#14,792
of 378,799 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Conversation
#1,278
of 2,029 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,125,052 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 200,727 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 100.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% 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 378,799 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 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2,029 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
