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.

Conference Paper Description
Modularity is a widespread form of organization in complex systems, but its origins are poorly understood. Here, I discuss the causes and consequences of modularity in evolutionary systems. Almost all living organisms engage in sexual exchange of genes, and those that do so are organized into discrete modules we call species. Gene exchange occurs within, but not between, species. This genetic segregation allows organisms to adapt to different niches and environments, and thereby evolve complex and long-lasting ecosystems. The process that generates such modularity, speciation, is therefore the key to understanding the diversity of life. Speciation theory is a highly developed topic within population genetics and evolutionary theory. I discuss some lessons from recent progress in speciation theory for our understanding of diversification and modularity in complex systems more generally, including possible applications in genetic algorithms, artificial life and social engineering. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
