Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 23 December 2020.
All research outputs
#14,527,988
of 23,267,128 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of STEM Education
#257
of 363 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#271,226
of 509,341 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of STEM Education
#10
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,267,128 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 363 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.5. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% 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 509,341 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
