Altmetric Attention Score

The Altmetric Attention Score is a measurement used to assess the attention a research publication receives across online platforms. It considers mentions and discussions on social media, news outlets, policy documents, blogs, and other sources. The score provides a quick snapshot of how much interest and engagement a study generates outside academic circles. A higher score indicates broader visibility and influence, reflecting the research’s relevance and impact in public and professional spheres. It helps researchers, institutions, and the public understand the reach and societal importance of scholarly work in real time.
