Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 18 April 2014.
All research outputs
#14,691,575
of 25,515,042 outputs
Outputs from arXiv
#182,847
of 924,684 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#171,079
of 319,882 outputs
Outputs of similar age from arXiv
#1,087
of 10,302 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,515,042 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 924,684 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. 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 319,882 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10,302 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
