to describe the results of the application of a low cost procedure, using free software, for geocoding data from the Mortality Information System (SIM), in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro.
descriptive study using Google Maps database for geocoding deaths data recorded at SIM, occurred from 2010 to 2012, in Rio de Janeiro; the study was carried out in three stages, (i) standardization of addresses, (ii) geocoding by Google Maps, and (iii) manual intervention.
from the total of 26,081 addresses submitted to the procedure, 18,646 (71.5%) had exact matches; the remaining 7,435 were submitted to manual intervention, which found 5,250; 70.6% of the addresses were not initially found; a total of 91.6% of the addresses were geocoded.
the procedure presented high proportion of automatic matches and, although it demanded much time, manual intervention allowed a considerable reduction of losses.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 07 December 2017.
All research outputs
#22,698,204
of 27,788,586 outputs
Outputs from Epidemiologia e Serviços de Saúde
#312
of 462 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#271,141
of 346,203 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Epidemiologia e Serviços de Saúde
#13
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,788,586 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 462 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% 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 346,203 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
