Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 77. 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 11 May 2023.
All research outputs
#542,610
of 25,018,122 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition
#169
of 936 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#14,251
of 436,228 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition
#160
of 849 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,018,122 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 936 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 63.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
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 436,228 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 849 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
