#10,391,820
of 34,531,973 outputs
Outputs from Trends in Microbiology
#1,785
of 2,935 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#179,160
of 568,887 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Trends in Microbiology
#26
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,531,973 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 2,935 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.6. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% 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 568,887 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 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
