Meta-Analysis of Correlations between Altmetric Attention Score and Citations in Health Sciences

Figure 3

Forest plots showed results of meta-analysis of correlation between the altmetric score and citations among articles: with the highest altmetric score (a), with the highest citations rate (b), altogether articles in specific field and year (c) and all included studies in meta-analysis (d). Readers must note when Fisher’s z transformation used for effect size calculation if the correlation was less than or equal to 0.3, the effect size would be asymptotically equal to correlation (if r ≤ 0.3 then r ≃ effect size).
