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 03 January 2017.
All research outputs
#7,714,565
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Psychology of Sport & Exercise
#851
of 1,526 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,798

#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,526 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.6. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% 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 64,948 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 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
