This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 25 November 2013.
All research outputs
#7,203,785
of 25,870,940 outputs
Outputs from PLoS Computational Biology
#4,817
of 9,061 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#56,500
of 208,632 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLoS Computational Biology
#47
of 104 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,870,940 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,061 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.3. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% 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 208,632 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 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 104 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 54% of its contemporaries.
