The specialty of plastic surgery has evolved to encompass a wide breadth of both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Practitioners in other specialties have increasingly advanced on procedures and areas that have traditionally been served by plastic surgeons. To date, no evaluation and comparison of the operative experience of graduating residents from various specialties has been performed.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 01 May 2012.
All research outputs
#17,580,759
of 27,370,655 outputs
Outputs from Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
#7,322
of 10,924 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110,284
of 173,463 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
#49
of 129 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,370,655 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,924 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% 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 173,463 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 129 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
