Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 02 August 2016.
All research outputs
#6,631,439
of 25,563,770 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#7,209
of 11,384 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#103,094
of 370,866 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#82
of 106 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,563,770 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,384 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.5. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 370,866 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 106 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
