Outputs from Journal of the American College of Surgeons
#2,635
of 5,282 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#92,585
of 268,348 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American College of Surgeons
#22
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,777,630 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,282 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.3. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% 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 268,348 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 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.
