Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. 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 16 February 2024.
All research outputs
#2,834,301
of 26,063,110 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#34,395
of 227,397 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,516
of 105,805 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#132
of 685 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,063,110 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 227,397 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% 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 105,805 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 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 685 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
