Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 19. 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 02 September 2019.
All research outputs
#1,762,693
of 23,493,900 outputs
Outputs from Longevity & Healthspan
#9
of 26 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#14,892
of 198,120 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Longevity & Healthspan
#4
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,493,900 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 26 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 18.3. This one scored the same or higher as 17 of them.
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 198,120 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
