Attention Score in Context

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 31 May 2002.
All research outputs
#7,533,912
of 22,986,950 outputs
Outputs from Studies in Comparative International Development
#144
of 306 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#9,458
of 30,257 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Studies in Comparative International Development
#2
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,986,950 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 306 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.0. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% 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 30,257 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
