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.

Book Chapter Description
One of the most significant developments that the social and economic history of the ancient world has undergone in the last 20 years is the great relevance being ascribed to investigating size, structure and dynamics of ancient populations. Since the late 1960s and 1970s, pioneering studies by Hopkins and other scholars such as Frier stressed the potential of a clever combination of various types of ancient evidence - both textual and material - with comparative data and demographic models built in order to produce estimates of the vital statistics of contemporary populations. The population of Roman Italy might have increased over the years of the long Augustan Principate. The chapter discusses the issue of how to view the demographic evolution of Roman Italy in comparison to the trend of the Italian population in the following two millennia, and the issue of how to frame the achievements of the Roman economy. © 2013 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
