Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 21 April 2017.

All research outputs

#5,544,204

of 21,784,478 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#7,433

of 12,115 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#50,590

of 214,703 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#144

of 212 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 21,784,478 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.

So far Altmetric has tracked 12,115 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 29.6. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% 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 214,703 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 212 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
