of 32,421,867 outputs
Outputs from Surgery
#4,239
of 9,477 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#42,393
of 176,043 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgery
#4
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,421,867 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,477 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% 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 176,043 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 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
