Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1175. 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 09 April 2024.
All research outputs
#12,476
of 25,726,194 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental social psychology
#1
of 258 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#22
of 124,680 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental social psychology
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,726,194 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 258 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 53.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
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 124,680 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 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
