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 October 2014.
All research outputs
#16,282,903
of 27,786,078 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#27,316
of 41,329 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#133,559
of 277,887 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#214
of 726 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,786,078 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 41,329 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 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 277,887 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 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 726 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 70% of its contemporaries.
