Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. The donut visual summarises attention from different sources; a breakdown is shown in the legend. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
