Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 25. 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 08 March 2023.
All research outputs
#1,519,874
of 25,448,590 outputs
Outputs from BMC Public Health
#1,732
of 17,598 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,468
of 518,973 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Public Health
#39
of 337 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,448,590 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 17,598 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% 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 518,973 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 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 337 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
