Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 13 August 2011.
All research outputs
#15,144,403
of 23,292,144 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#128,104
of 199,063 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#84,175
of 120,210 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#1,406
of 2,215 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,292,144 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 199,063 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.2. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% 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 120,210 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2,215 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
