This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 10 December 2025.
All research outputs
#20,780,593
of 29,816,780 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#31,992
of 42,876 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#295,779
of 502,177 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#709
of 892 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,816,780 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 42,876 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.1. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% 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 502,177 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 892 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
