#8,030,706
of 24,397,600 outputs
Outputs from BMC Public Health
#8,469
of 16,120 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#122,904
of 397,121 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Public Health
#122
of 222 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,397,600 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 16,120 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.4. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% 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 397,121 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 222 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
