Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 June 2013.
All research outputs
#21,406,222
of 34,518,147 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association
#1,193
of 2,208 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#122,360
of 145,190 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association
#6
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,518,147 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,208 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.0. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% 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 145,190 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
