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 02 June 2019.
All research outputs
#14,725,323
of 22,663,969 outputs
Outputs from BMC Women's Health
#1,159
of 1,780 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#97,038

Outputs of similar age from BMC Women's Health
#5
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,663,969 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,780 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.6. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% 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 156,321 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
