Abstract

Adults with developmental disability and little or no speech need to communicate with nurses in hospital to (a) express physical needs, (b) discuss health, (c) convey intelligence and emotions, (d) connect socially, and (e) control the environment. All stakeholders need access to a variety of communication strategies to support communication of these needs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 25 July 2014.
All research outputs
#5,211,314
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Applied Nursing Research
#82
of 564 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#22,484
of 108,739 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Nursing Research
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 564 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% 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 108,739 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 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
