This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 19 February 2026.
All research outputs
#9,314,317
of 31,983,049 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#21,933
of 43,424 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,700
of 103,695 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#15
of 83 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 31,983,049 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 43,424 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 49th percentile – i.e., 49% 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 103,695 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 63% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 83 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
