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 09 February 2023.
All research outputs
#5,744,389
of 23,734,501 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Marine Science
#3,061
of 9,214 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#98,772
of 436,336 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Marine Science
#110
of 703 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,734,501 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,214 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% 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 436,336 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 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 703 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
