Abstract The Brans-Dicke theory is investigated in which the Pauli metric is identified to be a physical spacetime metric. The solutions of a wormhole are obtained in Brans-Dicke theory with a relativistic radiation field for $\omega>-3/2$. However, it is found that one cannot construct a wormhole in the presence of a 3-form axion field.

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.
