Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 85. 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 17 January 2020.
All research outputs
#508,726
of 26,017,215 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#6,693
of 32,765 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#5,523
of 283,863 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#78
of 350 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,017,215 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 32,765 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 122.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% 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 283,863 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 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 350 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
