Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 231. 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 January 2018.
All research outputs
#168,269
of 25,795,662 outputs
Outputs from Nature
#10,375
of 98,804 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,408
of 395,041 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature
#248
of 1,060 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,795,662 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 98,804 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 102.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% 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 395,041 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 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,060 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
