The engagement metrics (hits, Kudos, comments, and bookmarks) and its variance tend to decline although the variance of Kudos does not decline (or even slightly increase) for high-novelty works.

The left column shows the corresponding average of the z-score of Kudos, hits, comments, and bookmarks, and the right column shows the variance. 95% confidence intervals obtained from bootstrap resampling are shown.
