Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 289. 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 15 December 2024.
All research outputs
#123,630
of 25,701,027 outputs
Outputs from Communications in Mathematics and Statistics
#1
of 29 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,074
of 405,794 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Communications in Mathematics and Statistics
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,701,027 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 29 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.5. This one scored the same or higher as 28 of them.
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 405,794 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 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
