of 34,518,147 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#21,833
of 38,546 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,066
of 14,094 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#24
of 81 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,518,147 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 38,546 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 120.2. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% 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 14,094 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 81 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 60% of its contemporaries.
