Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. 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 26 December 2023.
All research outputs
#3,035,460
of 24,293,076 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity
#1,041
of 2,034 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,252
of 247,384 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity
#25
of 76 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,293,076 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,034 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 29.0. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% 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 247,384 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 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 76 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 68% of its contemporaries.
