Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 05 July 2024.
All research outputs
#5,111,125
of 26,451,184 outputs
Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#7,304
of 13,252 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,513
of 121,365 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#48
of 99 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,451,184 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,252 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 33.8. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% 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 121,365 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 99 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
