Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 20. 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 26 November 2025.
All research outputs
#2,407,095
of 34,614,958 outputs
Outputs from British Medical Journal
#19,217
of 75,914 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,468
of 180,041 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Medical Journal
#85
of 688 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,614,958 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 75,914 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% 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 180,041 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 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 688 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
