This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 06 May 2025.
All research outputs
#7,682,185
of 34,709,857 outputs
Outputs from PLOS Medicine
#3,919
of 5,501 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#31,377
of 139,832 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLOS Medicine
#43
of 65 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,709,857 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,501 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 81.3. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% 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 139,832 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 65 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
