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
In the era of knowledge work, high performance increasingly depends on mental and psychological factors like concentration, mood, and motivation. Physical conditions in offices can either constitute a stressor depleting concentration and fatiguing users, or an environmental resource facilitating work activities and satisfying user needs and, in turn, heightening engagement and mood at work. To what extent certain physical conditions at the workplace function as resources or as stressors can be estimated based on three levels of comfort: physical, functional, and psychological comfort. This approach aims at supporting the creation of "psychologically sustainable" physical conditions, which conserve the users' psychological resources. In this article, this new understanding of comfort will be explained based on the underlying psychological processes and will be illustrated using the example of the physical variable of lighting.
