Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 130. 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 01 February 2024.
All research outputs
#318,259
of 25,301,208 outputs
Outputs from Nature Biotechnology
#740
of 8,783 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,549
of 316,964 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Biotechnology
#19
of 91 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,301,208 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,783 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 43.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% 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 316,964 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 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 91 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
