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
Recently, a controlled quantum secure direct communication (CQSDC) with authentication protocol based on the five-particle cluster state and the classical XOR operation was put forward (Quantum Inf Process 18:129, 2019). However, it is found that this CQSDC protocol has some serious security problems. Firstly, it is weak against disturbance attack from an outside eavesdropper and even the dishonest controller. Secondly, it is found that the receiver can obtain one half of the information about the secret message without the controller’s permission. This is not allowed in a truly secure CQSDC protocol. In order to mend these security loopholes, some improving measures are discussed.
