Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 08 September 2012.
All research outputs
#13,367,517
of 22,678,224 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the Medical Library Association
#508
of 886 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#89,386
of 160,894 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the Medical Library Association
#3
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,678,224 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 886 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% 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 160,894 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
