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 05 November 2016.
All research outputs
#4,553,539
of 22,705,019 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#62,203
of 193,828 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#39,402
of 199,331 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#1,264
of 5,224 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,705,019 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 193,828 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% 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 199,331 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 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5,224 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.
