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
In the majority of papers dealing with immune system changes, higher prevalence of autoimmunity and autoimmune diseases among elderly people is stressed as one of the factors confirming the changes of immune system function in aging. This statement is repeated for a very long time and most of the authors treat it as a stone-carved truth. However, we will show below that, as we look into this problem in details, there are not so many diseases which appear in the elderly population more frequent to the younger ones. So, where is the problem and why is that so?
