#4,902,231
of 34,447,360 outputs
Outputs from Environmental Science & Technology
#5,716
of 26,553 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,981
of 209,218 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Environmental Science & Technology
#58
of 241 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,447,360 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 26,553 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 18.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% 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 209,218 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 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 241 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
