Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 01 February 2015.
All research outputs
#17,932,284
of 26,017,215 outputs
Outputs from Health Services and Outcomes Research Methodology
#82
of 122 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#230,155
of 367,293 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health Services and Outcomes Research Methodology
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,017,215 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 122 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% 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 367,293 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
