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 21 February 2024.
All research outputs
#20,661,535
of 25,388,837 outputs
Outputs from British Journal of General Practice
#4,217
of 4,716 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#17,259
of 17,977 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Journal of General Practice
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,388,837 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,716 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.1. 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 17,977 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
