Breastfeeding confers several health advantages to both infants and mothers. For reasons that are multifactorial, infants born even a few weeks prematurely are less likely to initiate breastfeeding, and those who breastfeed do so for a shorter duration than term infants.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 16 March 2023.
All research outputs
#7,890,101
of 27,727,024 outputs
Outputs from Breastfeeding Medicine
#505
of 1,208 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#93,731
of 368,352 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Breastfeeding Medicine
#11
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,727,024 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,208 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 22.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% 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 368,352 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 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 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.
