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 06 May 2025.
All research outputs
#9,366,111
of 28,215,760 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#22,775
of 41,623 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#81,413
of 247,516 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#135
of 635 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,215,760 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 41,623 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 44th percentile – i.e., 44% 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 247,516 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 635 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
