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 05 January 2024.
All research outputs
#3,821,464
of 26,407,726 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#7,195
of 35,341 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#82,245
of 439,361 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#240
of 1,620 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,407,726 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 35,341 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% 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 439,361 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 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,620 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
