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.

Article Description
Serious game is an application that has been recently designed for a specific purpose in areas such as education, healthcare, management, and engineering with the core components in games. There have been recent attempts to evaluate the effects of serious games through cognitive aspects used in empirical research, yet there are struggles for application designers to apply these cognitive neuroscientific principles to validate their proposed programs. In this paper, simple tools in cognitive psychology are introduced for analyzing serious game designs through empirical testing. The experiment is designed to investigate the effects of a tangible walking game on attention, memory, and emotion. Results revealed that the group that directly played the tangible walking game showed a slightly better performance on word recall than the control group that just watched the game. We are proposing, in this paper, an experimental method for validating a tangible walking game that can be potentially applied to other serious games. A cognitive evaluation procedure has been developed showing how to exploit simple empirical testing to validate the effectiveness of the proposed tangible game through the cognitive aspects of information processing. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
