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 chapter deals on a theoretical level with the importance of interactions between biological and social factors in the epidemic or pandemic spread of infectious diseases. Biosocial interactions are a fundamental factor in the spread of infections, and a more detailed understanding of these interactions is of scientific and practical interest. To be able to describe systematics, it is proposed to link a classic model of infectious disease epidemiology (the epidemiological triad) and a model of the social determinants of health (ecosocial theory). To illustrate the approach, principles of the biology of infectious diseases are examined more closely to identify possible interfaces with social conditions that make it easier or more difficult for the pathogen to spread. This presentation follows the biological process of an infection from exposure to infection and subsequent disease. Step-by-step, it addresses pathogen characteristics and their implications for the interaction with hosts and their social contexts.
