Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 22 December 2023.
All research outputs
#14,492,145
of 25,540,105 outputs
Outputs from BMC Medical Research Methodology
#1,344
of 2,295 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#79,108
of 95,362 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Medical Research Methodology
#7
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,540,105 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,295 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.6. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% 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 95,362 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
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.
