Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 620. 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 12 March 2026.
All research outputs
#45,921
of 34,566,597 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#1,566
of 38,570 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#693
of 337,275 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#24
of 299 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,566,597 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 38,570 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 120.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% 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 337,275 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 99% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 299 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
