Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1746. 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 04 May 2024.
All research outputs
#6,099
of 25,880,948 outputs
Outputs from Nature Communications
#119
of 58,866 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#180
of 480,137 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Communications
#8
of 1,675 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,880,948 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 58,866 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 55.0. 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 480,137 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 1,675 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 99% of its contemporaries.
