This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 January 2017.
All research outputs
#17,298,384
of 29,128,766 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#27,931
of 42,097 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#123,959
of 217,753 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#138
of 419 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,128,766 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 42,097 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 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% 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 217,753 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 419 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
