#7,591,076
of 34,410,798 outputs
Outputs from British Medical Journal
#36,582
of 75,581 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#27,955
of 124,396 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Medical Journal
#102
of 257 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,410,798 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 75,581 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.5. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% 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 124,396 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 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 257 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 57% of its contemporaries.
