Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Article Description
We deal with the problem of evaluating the strength of the dependency of a categorical response variable upon a categorical explanatory variable by means of the Goodman and Kruskal's τ. For given marginals, τ seldom reaches its theoretical upper bound, 1. It seems therefore reasonable to determine the maximum value the index can assume in a class of contingency tables with given marginals. Three kinds of heuristics developed to this aim are presented. An upper bound for the maximum is determined so that it is possible to estimate the relative error of the proposed heuristics.
