Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 29. 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 27 November 2021.
All research outputs
#1,127,400
of 22,664,267 outputs
Outputs from Nature Climate Change
#1,718
of 3,852 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,214
of 160,394 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Climate Change
#24
of 103 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,664,267 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,852 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 123.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% 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 160,394 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 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 103 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
