Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. 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 13 June 2007.
All research outputs
#3,364,889
of 23,295,606 outputs
Outputs from BMC Medicine
#1,907
of 3,503 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#8,072
of 71,421 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Medicine
#1
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,295,606 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 84th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,503 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 43.7. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% 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 71,421 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 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
