Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 31. 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 25 March 2022.

All research outputs

#1,109,317

of 23,414,653 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#2,508

of 12,687 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#9,530

of 198,482 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#57

of 322 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 23,414,653 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.

So far Altmetric has tracked 12,687 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 33.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% 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 198,482 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 95% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 322 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
