Abstract

Minimizing attrition is a key objective in longitudinal research, with possible consequences being additional bias and reduced generalizability. Identifying determinants of attrition is essential in determining attrition prevention strategies. The objective of this study was to investigate a number of these determinants, with an emphasis on contactability.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 10 February 2013.
All research outputs
#20,656,161
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Clinical Epidemiology
#4,435
of 4,782 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#230,041
of 291,540 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Clinical Epidemiology
#37
of 43 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,782 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 291,540 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 43 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.
