Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
With multiple lines of evidences including genetics, morphology, acoustic signals, and behavioral information, Wang et al. (2017) described a new Buergeria tree frog (Anura: Rhacophoridae). Nevertheless, this paper was published in an electronic journal and did not contain ZooBank ID. This new species is thus "not published" based on International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) chapter 3, article 8.5. Later in 2018, Wang et al. (2018) published a correction with ZooBank ID, but the correction did not contain the statement about the holotype. Although such statement has been provided in the 2017 paper, the species name proposed in this 2018 nomenclatural act was still not available based on ICZN chapter 4, article 16.4. Since both nomenclatural acts did not meet the criteria in ICZN, we hereby publish this paper to solve this taxonomic controversy.
