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
Student interactions in distance learning have been a critical element of the transactional distance theory. Research shows that student interactions have a positive effect on learning outcomes. However, little is known about how student interactions can be improved. The need to understand student interactions and to determine the relationships between the variables that are effective in these interactions has become evident. This study aims to investigate the impact of e-learning readiness and the motivations of students in distance learning on student interactions. In addition, it was examined whether motivation mediated the relationship between e-readiness and student interactions. The study was conducted with 172 students enrolled in a postgraduate program conducted by distance learning. Results showed that students' e-learning readiness and motivation are essential predictors of student interactions in distance learning. Furthermore, it was found that motivation had a mediation effect on the relationship between e-learning readiness and student interactions. The results of the research are helpful for both instructional designers and instructors of distance learning who want to reduce the transactional distance by increasing student interactions.
