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
Prior studies have highlighted the influence of personality traits and socio-demographics on one’s receptiveness towards healthcare technological innovations. As Singapore moves towards telehealth services, it is essential to understand people’s perceptions towards embracing telehealth concerning these factors. A profiling technique was conducted to identify profiles of telehealth receptiveness with personality traits and socio-demographics. This study used a nationally representative sample of 527 Singaporean participants. A latent profile analysis explored how receptiveness towards telehealth relates to different Big-Five personality traits and socio-demographics (age, education, prior telehealth usage). Three profiles were identified: early majority (Profile 1 –29.2%), early adopters (Profile 2 –46.3%), and late majority (Profile 3 –24.5%). The entropy value for this three-profile model indicated a good model fit (.83), and the Support Vector Machine revealed that this model has achieved high accuracy (96.94%). The findings contributed to the growing telehealth literature by identifying three profiles of Singaporeans regarding their receptiveness and elucidating the influence of personality traits and socio-demographics on one’s receptiveness towards telehealth.
