Regarding Mandell and Lecavalier’s editorial “Should we believe the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s autism spectrum disorders prevalence estimates” and subsequent exchange with Durkin et al.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. 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 13 July 2021.
All research outputs
#5,667,869
of 30,012,060 outputs
Outputs from Autism
#1,268
of 2,350 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#56,087
of 274,374 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Autism
#13
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 30,012,060 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,350 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 25.7. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% 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 274,374 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 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
