Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 23 March 2024.
All research outputs
#15,853,434
of 25,545,162 outputs
Outputs from Medicine and Science in Sports & Exercise
#5,427
of 7,069 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#76,633
of 89,555 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Medicine and Science in Sports & Exercise
#25
of 36 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,545,162 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,069 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 25.2. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% 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 89,555 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 36 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
