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 26 October 2022.
All research outputs
#1,913,936
of 23,914,147 outputs
Outputs from BMC Medicine
#1,306
of 3,631 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#22,030
of 258,614 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Medicine
#33
of 86 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,914,147 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,631 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 45.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% 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 258,614 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 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 86 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 62% of its contemporaries.
