Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 964. 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 14 October 2026.
All research outputs
#21,721
of 34,632,158 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#871
of 38,545 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#358
of 361,788 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#9
of 208 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,632,158 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 38,545 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 120.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
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 361,788 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 208 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
