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 11 October 2021.
All research outputs
#4,517,851
of 25,055,009 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#76,945
of 217,360 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#36,627
of 254,999 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#631
of 3,217 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,055,009 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 217,360 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 gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% 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 254,999 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 85% 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 80% of its contemporaries.
