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 January 2015.
All research outputs
#20,926,846
of 29,998,507 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#32,082
of 43,012 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#218,852
of 306,649 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#271
of 420 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,998,507 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 43,012 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 306,649 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 420 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
