Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 09 August 2024.
All research outputs
#6,674,494
of 26,175,232 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Pharmacology
#2,923
of 20,147 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#141,583
of 530,667 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Pharmacology
#181
of 1,174 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,175,232 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,147 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% 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 530,667 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,174 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
