Abstract

This article is a comment on Ofra Golan and Paul Hansen's framework for health technology prioritization that they suggest could be developed and used by the committee selecting new technologies for Israel's health basket. Although Golan and Hansen should be commended for the innovative way they have started to explore these issues, more work need to be done to take proper account of opportunity costs.

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 27 November 2012.
All research outputs
#15,256,901
of 22,687,320 outputs
Outputs from Israel Journal of Health Policy Research
#304
of 577 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#178,785
of 276,871 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Israel Journal of Health Policy Research
#7
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,687,320 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 577 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% 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 276,871 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
