Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 21. 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 01 January 2019.
All research outputs
#1,549,827
of 23,377,816 outputs
Outputs from Nature
#37,413
of 92,184 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,595
of 67,066 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature
#89
of 456 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,377,816 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 92,184 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 100.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% 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 67,066 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 456 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.
