Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 17 April 2013.
All research outputs
#16,776,399
of 26,420,475 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health (1978)
#4,025
of 4,646 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#127,433
of 212,719 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health (1978)
#33
of 42 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,420,475 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,646 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 26.7. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% 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 212,719 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 42 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
