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 21 October 2025.
All research outputs
#20,969,783
of 30,067,305 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#32,129
of 43,082 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#173,377
of 351,881 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#193
of 377 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 30,067,305 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 43,082 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 351,881 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 377 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
