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 22 August 2019.

All research outputs

#1,186,452

of 15,699,189 outputs

Outputs from this source

#3,218

of 11,259 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#12,537

of 154,928 outputs

Outputs of similar age from this source

#23

of 106 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 15,699,189 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.

So far Altmetric has tracked 11,259 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 23.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% 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 154,928 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 91% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 106 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
