Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. 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 27 December 2023.
All research outputs
#3,044,371
of 25,058,660 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#38,119
of 217,362 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,490
of 254,941 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#445
of 3,217 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,058,660 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 217,362 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% 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 254,941 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 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3,217 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
