Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 13 February 2020.
All research outputs
#14,316,397
of 25,019,915 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education
#389
of 420 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#170,028
of 356,806 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education
#11
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,019,915 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 420 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 18.4. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 356,806 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
