Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 26. 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 20 June 2024.
All research outputs
#1,567,403
of 26,617,918 outputs
Outputs from Casebooks in Earth Sciences
#1
of 11 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#334
of 36,306 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Casebooks in Earth Sciences
#1
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,617,918 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one scored the same or higher as 10 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 36,306 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 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 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
