Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 22 April 2022.
All research outputs
#7,544,204
of 24,954,788 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Public Opinion Research
#240
of 471 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#124,197
of 352,251 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Public Opinion Research
#8
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,954,788 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 471 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.2. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% 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 352,251 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
