| Abstract |
Applying the WHO definition of pharmacovigilance, the International Society of Pharmacovigilance, (ISoP) is concerned with all aspects of medicine safety. The safety of patients exposed to medicines depends on a wide variety of factors, where the understanding of each factor is associated with its own professional competence and skillset. For pharmacovigilance systems to work efficiently, a broad understanding of the necessary contribution of each of the different scientific competence areas and professional skills is required. ISoP is an independent, not-for-profit international professional organization, concerned with the best interest of patients exposed to pharmaceutical interventions in all healthcare systems in the world. ISoP offers an open platform for professionals from around the world with different expertise and skillsets, to network and exchange information and knowledge in a friendly environment. The society wishes to become a stronger global voice, speaking up in favour of patient safety and to be at the frontline of the global patient safety movement. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. 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 16 September 2018.
All research outputs
#2,373,636
of 23,098,660 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy
#90
of 1,109 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#50,720
of 331,122 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy
#2
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,098,660 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,109 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% 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 331,122 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
