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
This study aims to identify mechanisms behind the utilisation of seasonal climate forecasts when humanitarian organisations make preparedness measures in their supply chain to mitigate potential disaster risks. When putting such logistics preparedness measures, humanitarian organisations deal with great uncertainty due to the unpredictable nature of natural hazards. Food security is often threatened even under the recurring wet season as the variability and erratic characteristics of its onset, duration, and amount of rainfall bring considerable challenges to the management of supply chains to support food security. By analysing the organisations’ use of seasonal climate information in logistics preparedness to support food security, this study identifies the underlying processes and recognisable logics created through various practices. This study contributes to the literature by discussing how such information can be better used to improve logistics preparedness decision-making and mitigate potential disaster risks.
