Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 December 2017.
All research outputs
#20,821,437
of 25,582,611 outputs
Outputs from Substance Abuse Treatment, Prevention, and Policy
#697
of 747 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#88,514
of 95,479 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Substance Abuse Treatment, Prevention, and Policy
#7
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,582,611 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 747 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.7. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% 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 95,479 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
