Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 396. 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 August 2026.
All research outputs
#97,285
of 34,540,392 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
#44
of 4,502 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#192
of 156,575 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
#1
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,540,392 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 4,502 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 22.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% 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 156,575 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 17 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 94% of its contemporaries.
