Abstract The statement in Rindler's book "Essential Relativity" [(Springer-Verlag, New York, 1977), p. 119] claiming that "the metric coefficients are time-independent if light signals tracing out the same path always take the same coordinate time" has two problems, the first one has been pointed out by us in a recent paper "relation between choosing ‘good' coordinates and the behavior of light signals" [Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 3(1994), 881], while the second is the main focus of the present article.

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.
