Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 18 January 2011.
All research outputs
#6,527,393
of 25,473,687 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Epidemiology
#751
of 1,805 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#18,277
of 61,464 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Epidemiology
#5
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,473,687 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,805 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 39.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% 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 61,464 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
