Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. 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 14 August 2024.
All research outputs
#3,898,619
of 26,480,347 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Cognition
#3
of 40 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#69,141
of 389,790 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Cognition
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,480,347 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 40 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one scored the same or higher as 37 of them.
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 389,790 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
