Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 17 October 2021.
All research outputs
#7,656,930
of 23,310,485 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#11,221
of 30,992 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#153,579
of 433,934 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#382
of 1,553 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,310,485 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 30,992 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% 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 433,934 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 62% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,553 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
