Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1560. 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 03 July 2023.
All research outputs
#6,884
of 24,535,155 outputs
Outputs from Nature
#751
of 95,307 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#326
of 432,903 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature
#35
of 912 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,535,155 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 95,307 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 101.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% 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 432,903 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 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 912 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
