Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 19. 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 24 June 2024.
All research outputs
#1,975,713
of 26,181,776 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in African Business Research
#1
of 2 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#43,800
of 450,699 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in African Business Research
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,181,776 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 2 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.2. This one scored the same or higher as 1 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 450,699 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 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 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
