Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. 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 03 April 2024.
All research outputs
#2,438,753
of 26,230,991 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#4,918
of 35,114 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#63,608
of 457,050 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#188
of 1,003 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,230,991 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 35,114 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 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 457,050 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 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,003 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
