Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 27. 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 19 October 2023.
All research outputs
#1,507,327
of 26,184,649 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#3,158
of 35,048 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#41,974
of 435,370 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#103
of 806 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,184,649 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 35,048 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% 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 435,370 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 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 806 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
