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 31 July 2015.
All research outputs
#16,540,675
of 27,786,078 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#27,618
of 41,329 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#159,284
of 315,496 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#547
of 765 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,786,078 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 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 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% 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 315,496 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 765 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
