Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 01 January 2013.
All research outputs
#7,754,533
of 23,571,271 outputs
Outputs from Dynamic Medicine
#12
of 21 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#29,086
of 83,125 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Dynamic Medicine
#3
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,571,271 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 21 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.5. This one scored the same or higher as 9 of them.
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 83,125 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
