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 12 November 2015.
All research outputs
#7,514,847
of 22,950,943 outputs
Outputs from Nebraska Symposium on Motivation
#20
of 49 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#49,081

#3
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,950,943 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 49 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one scored the same or higher as 29 of them.
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 169,856 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
