In this month's issue, we debut a new feature: Viewpoint. Viewpoint articles are scholarly papers containing opinion or perspectives relevant to musculoskeletal and sports physical therapy. They are editorial-/perspective-/professional commentary-type articles, authored by experts in their topic field, and intended to put research into context for readers by delivering clinically meaningful synopsis, debate, and discussion. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2016;46(2):37. doi:10.2519/jospt.2016.0102.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 28 May 2019.
All research outputs
#16,605,381
of 27,383,327 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy
#1,951
of 2,511 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#216,637
of 413,262 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy
#37
of 43 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,383,327 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,511 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 26.8. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% 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 413,262 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 43 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
