Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1770. 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 12 September 2024.
All research outputs
#6,199
of 26,609,881 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#197
of 105,329 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110
of 330,233 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
#3
of 815 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,609,881 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 105,329 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.3. 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 330,233 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 815 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.
