Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 2023.
All research outputs
#7,501,322
of 23,801,276 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Public Health
#2,608
of 11,506 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#138,412
of 458,876 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Public Health
#198
of 1,418 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,801,276 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,506 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 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 458,876 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 1,418 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
