Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 20. 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 27 September 2021.
All research outputs
#1,809,064
of 24,807,923 outputs
Outputs from Nature
#40,775
of 95,896 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,611
of 96,935 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature
#39
of 276 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,807,923 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 95,896 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 102.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its peers.
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 96,935 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 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 276 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
