Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#22,899
of 38,365 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,692
of 154,490 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#119
of 204 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,357,314 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 38,365 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 120.2. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% 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 154,490 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 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 204 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
