Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. 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 18 November 2022.
All research outputs
#3,096,942
of 24,835,287 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Public Health
#1,341
of 13,152 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#70,164
of 431,017 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Public Health
#77
of 625 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,835,287 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,152 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% 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 431,017 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 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 625 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
