#5,546,626
of 25,890,819 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the History of Medicine & Allied Sciences
#204
of 773 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,164
of 179,684 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the History of Medicine & Allied Sciences
#2
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,890,819 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 78th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 773 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% 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 179,684 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 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
