Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 89. 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 01 August 2026.
All research outputs
#609,717
of 34,457,357 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#7,659
of 38,407 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,004
of 234,867 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#19
of 189 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,457,357 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 38,407 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 120.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% 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 234,867 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 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 189 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.
