Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 295. 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 17 July 2026.
All research outputs
#149,657
of 34,359,530 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#3,350
of 38,368 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,341
of 380,107 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#30
of 214 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,359,530 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 38,368 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 120.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% 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 380,107 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 214 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
