Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 89. 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 29 November 2022.
All research outputs
#469,619
of 25,165,468 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#6,408
of 32,308 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,989
of 157,046 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#69
of 331 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,165,468 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 32,308 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 121.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its peers.
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 157,046 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 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 331 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
