Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 120. 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 04 March 2026.
All research outputs
#434,803
of 33,942,205 outputs
Outputs from The Lancet
#4,078
of 51,624 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#9,979
of 479,649 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Lancet
#119
of 358 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 33,942,205 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 51,624 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 63.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% 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 479,649 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 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 358 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
