This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 17 January 2026.
All research outputs
#21,521,039
of 34,334,425 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Cancer
#12,017
of 14,849 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#144,000
of 338,297 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Cancer
#29
of 70 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,334,425 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,849 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.5. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% 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 338,297 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 70 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
