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 16 October 2025.
All research outputs
#8,942,909
of 29,690,614 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#22,239
of 42,650 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#62,307
of 264,557 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#36
of 200 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,690,614 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 42,650 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.0. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% 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 264,557 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 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 200 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
