This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. 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 13 October 2025.
All research outputs
#2,784,172
of 29,478,169 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#3,876
of 42,516 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#62,003
of 463,095 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
#117
of 919 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,478,169 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 42,516 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% 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 463,095 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 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 919 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
