Abstract A modified method of calculating the end-to-end distance of segments with a given number of units in a single polymer chain is presented and numerical studies of some fractals by using Havlin and Ben-Avraham's and our methods are given. The results show that our method can remove the fluctuations in the end-to-end distances of the segments arising in Havlin and Ben-Avraham's method.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
