This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 19 September 2024.
All research outputs
#6,899,492
of 26,794,081 outputs
Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#8,275
of 13,278 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#36,416
of 174,331 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#44
of 79 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,794,081 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,278 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 34.0. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% 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 174,331 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 79 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
