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 23 January 2023.

All research outputs

#4,906,861

of 23,578,918 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#7,390

of 12,744 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#23,132

of 158,413 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#41

of 83 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 23,578,918 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.

So far Altmetric has tracked 12,744 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 33.2. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% 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 158,413 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 79% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 83 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
