Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 07 January 2024.
All research outputs
#8,139,684
of 25,121,692 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#107,376
of 217,943 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#66,503
of 203,540 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#2,068
of 5,069 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,121,692 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 217,943 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.7. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% 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 203,540 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 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5,069 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
