Abstract This paper presents a new exact inflationary solution to the non-minimally coupled scalar field. The inflation is driven by the evolution of a scalar field with inflation potential $V(\varphi ) = (\lambda / 4)\varphi ^4 + b_1 \varphi ^2 + b_2 + b_3 \varphi ^{ - 2} + b_4 \varphi ^{ - 4}$. The spectral index of the scalar density fluctuations $n_s $ is consistent with the result of WMAP3 (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 3) for $\Lambda$CDM (Lambda-Cold Dark Matter). This model relaxes the constraint to the quartic coupling constant. And it can enter smoothly into a radiation-dominated stage when inflation ends.

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.
