Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 26. 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 30 June 2019.
All research outputs
#1,851,208
of 34,377,743 outputs
Outputs from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#1,523
of 7,756 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#31,185
of 395,335 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#26
of 102 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,377,743 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,756 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 27.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% 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 395,335 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 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 102 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 74% of its contemporaries.
