Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. 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 07 July 2024.
All research outputs
#3,144,030
of 26,589,560 outputs
Outputs from Science Across Cultures: The History of Non-Western Science
#3
of 12 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#5,167
of 113,136 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Science Across Cultures: The History of Non-Western Science
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,589,560 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one scored the same or higher as 9 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 113,136 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 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
