Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 16. 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 14 January 2025.
All research outputs
#2,663,247
of 30,047,601 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#3,551
of 43,048 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#44,053
of 375,399 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#99
of 844 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 30,047,601 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 43,048 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
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 375,399 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 844 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
