Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 81. 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 23 November 2018.
All research outputs
#455,512
of 23,112,054 outputs
Outputs from Nature Communications
#7,919
of 47,678 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,774
of 344,938 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Communications
#224
of 1,399 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,112,054 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 47,678 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 55.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% 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 344,938 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 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,399 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
