Abstract By using the energies of the 1s2nd(n=3—5) and 1s2nf(n=4—6) states for a lithium atom, calculated with the full core plus correlation method, quantum defect functions are obtained which vary smoothly with energy based on quantum defect theory. Then these functions are separately used to construct a system equation to calculate the energies and quantum defects of the 1s2nd and 1s2nf(n=7—11) states for the lithium atom. Separations between the centres of gravity of the nd and nf levels (n=7—11) are also predicted and compared with the experimental and theoretical data available in the literature.

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.
