Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

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 06 August 2013.
All research outputs
#17,282,206
of 25,381,151 outputs
Outputs from BMC Medical Research Methodology
#1,699
of 2,267 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#50,448
of 55,836 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Medical Research Methodology
#2
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,381,151 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,267 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.4. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% 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 55,836 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
