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 23 December 2016.
All research outputs
#14,147,011
of 22,669,724 outputs
Outputs from Supportive Care in Cancer
#2,738
of 4,517 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#98,528
of 167,239 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Supportive Care in Cancer
#19
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,669,724 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,517 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% 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 167,239 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
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 is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
