This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 25 April 2026.
All research outputs
#26,248,041
of 32,786,479 outputs
Outputs from British Journal of Cancer
#11,795
of 12,802 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#200,895
of 336,812 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Journal of Cancer
#51
of 69 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,786,479 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,802 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.2. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% 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 336,812 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 69 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
