Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. 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 19 July 2012.
All research outputs
#2,587,405
of 23,983,331 outputs
Outputs from PLOS ONE
#32,466
of 205,866 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#16,585
of 166,180 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE
#540
of 4,023 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,983,331 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 205,866 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% 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 166,180 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 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4,023 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.
