of 34,376,207 outputs
Outputs from British Medical Journal
#39,904
of 75,519 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#118,574
of 375,024 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Medical Journal
#486
of 696 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,376,207 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 75,519 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 39.9. 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 375,024 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 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 696 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
