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 09 January 2014.
All research outputs
#15,290,667
of 22,739,983 outputs
Outputs from Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
#227
of 589 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#120,343
of 194,604 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,739,983 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 589 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% 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 194,604 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
