Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 29 March 2017.
All research outputs
#14,918,939
of 24,995,564 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Mental Health Systems
#508
of 750 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#140,006
of 174,526 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Mental Health Systems
#9
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,995,564 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 750 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.9. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% 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 174,526 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
