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 15 August 2010.
All research outputs
#7,605,073
of 28,841,988 outputs
Outputs from Brazilian Journal of Physics
#43
of 402 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#38,440
of 177,557 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Brazilian Journal of Physics
#2
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,841,988 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 402 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% 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 177,557 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 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
