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 17 October 2012.
All research outputs
#762,125
of 34,582,852 outputs
Outputs from Nature Medicine
#2,553
of 11,603 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,518
of 225,014 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Medicine
#9
of 108 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,582,852 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,603 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 107.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% 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 225,014 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 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 108 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its contemporaries.
