Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 03 July 2012.
All research outputs
#6,816,663
of 25,261,240 outputs
Outputs from Intensive Care Medicine
#2,863
of 5,385 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#58,942
of 259,919 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Intensive Care Medicine
#11
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,261,240 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,385 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 29.7. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% 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 259,919 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 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 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 65% of its contemporaries.
