This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 21 February 2014.
All research outputs
#14,154,190
of 24,394,175 outputs
Outputs from Biology Letters
#2,791
of 3,340 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#167,705
of 317,221 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biology Letters
#70
of 92 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,394,175 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,340 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 59.0. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% 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 317,221 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 92 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
