Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 41. 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 12 February 2024.
All research outputs
#1,058,338
of 26,233,885 outputs
Outputs from Ethics of Science and Technology Assessment
#1
of 8 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#17,544
of 402,853 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ethics of Science and Technology Assessment
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,233,885 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8 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 7 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 402,853 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. This one has scored higher than all of them
