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
Our knowledge of the Earth's core has improved dramatically since its discovery, and this chapter attempts to provide a review of the current understanding as constrained by seismological observations.We also illustrate difficulties in studying this region, and uncertainties in the constraints.Ashort discussion of seismic data used to investigate the core is followed by sections focusing on properties of the outer core, the inner-core boundary, and the inner core. The range of observed values for compressional and shear wave speeds, density, and attenuation are presented. © 2007 Springer.
