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 June 2014.
All research outputs
#16,314,681
of 25,002,811 outputs
Outputs from BMC Public Health
#12,076
of 16,674 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#131,762
of 234,657 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Public Health
#213
of 284 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,002,811 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 16,674 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.4. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% 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 234,657 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 284 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
