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
Urban form is an element of city complexity that influences urban daily activities and sustainability. Particularly, fast urban land expansion in developing countries has transformed urban form and directly or indirectly impacts the biodiversity, physical environment, and socioeconomic conditions. As a result, spatiotemporal analysis of urban form change and its implication on sustainable development were demanded to evaluate trends of spatial growth and urban planning. This study assesses the urban form change of Addis Ababa based on integrated approaches and explores implications for sustainable urban development. Results indicated that spatial morphological patterns, landscape complexity, and spatial concentration had changed rapidly in recent years, implying the need for compactness, high density, and urban regeneration for urban development strategies.
