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 28 October 2016.
All research outputs
#3,174,470
of 25,163,621 outputs
Outputs from BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies
#567
of 3,934 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#25,922
of 202,298 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies
#12
of 100 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,163,621 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,934 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% 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 202,298 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 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 100 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
