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 26 June 2013.
All research outputs
#3,040,443
of 7,917,866 outputs
Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#6,353
of 8,714 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,647
of 93,589 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews
#71
of 114 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 7,917,866 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 61st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,714 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.1. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% 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 93,589 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 114 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
