This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 September 2017.
All research outputs
#17,852,071
of 27,788,586 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#29,081
of 41,331 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#198,841
of 342,069 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#403
of 805 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,788,586 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 41,331 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 28th percentile – i.e., 28% 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 342,069 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 805 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
