This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 610. 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 06 June 2024.
All research outputs
#38,576
of 26,119,990 outputs
Outputs from British Journal of Sports Medicine
#120
of 6,578 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#452
of 265,543 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Journal of Sports Medicine
#2
of 53 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,119,990 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,578 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 67.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% 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 265,543 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 53 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
