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 12 July 2022.
All research outputs
#2,912,607
of 23,505,010 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#37,668
of 201,275 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#13,950
of 112,142 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#348
of 1,669 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,505,010 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 201,275 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% 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 112,142 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,669 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
