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 07 September 2026.
All research outputs
#9,515,649
of 27,778,980 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#23,246
of 41,319 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#24,800
of 69,537 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#16
of 55 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,778,980 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 41,319 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 34th percentile – i.e., 34% 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 69,537 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 55 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
