This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 20 August 2016.
All research outputs
#28,600,579
of 34,360,257 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Bone & Mineral Research
#5,376
of 5,756 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#275,286
of 344,912 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Bone & Mineral Research
#47
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,360,257 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,756 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.1. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% 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 344,912 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
